Juan D'Vaughn Pierre (born August 14, 1977 in Mobile, Alabama), is a professional baseball player. Through five seasons (2000-2004), he has accumulated a .312 batting average and 210 stolen bases.

Juan became a fan favorite early in his career because of his speed and durability. He led the National League in stolen bases in 2001 and 2003 and stole at least 45 bases each year from 2001 to 2004; because of his great speed, he is an ideal leadoff hitter. In 2004, he led the National League in at-bats (for the second year in a row) with 678; in hits, with 221; and in triples, with 12. In addition, he was the only player in Major League Baseball to play every inning of each of his team's games in 2004.

Juan was a major contributor to the Marlins' 2003 World Series championship. After a regular season in which he posted a .305 batting average and 65 stolen bases, he batted .333 in the World Series and .301 overall in his first postseason.
