'''Jacques Marie Stanislas Jean Brugnon''' ({{IPA|fr|ʒak bʁyɲɔ̃}}; 11 May 1895 – 20 March 1978), nicknamed "Toto", was a French [[tennis]] player, one of the famous "[[The Four Musketeers (tennis)|Four Musketeers]]" from [[France]] who dominated tennis in the late 1920s and early 1930s. He was born in and died in [[Paris]].

He was primarily a doubles specialist who won 10 [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] doubles titles in the French, American, Australian and British championships. Additionally he won two mixed doubles titles at [[French Open|Roland Garros]] partnering [[Suzanne Lenglen]]. He was also a fine singles player but never won a major title. He played in 20 [[Wimbledon Championships]] between 1920 and 1948 and achieved his best singles result in 1926 when he reached the semifinals, losing in a close five-set match to [[Howard Kinsey]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Wimbledon player archive - Jacques Brugnon |url=http://www.wimbledon.com/en_GB/scores/draws/archive/players/b26a8ed5-3361-4ab2-b119-1e6cd7c9fb0c/index.html |website=www.wimbledon.com |publisher=[[AELTC]]}}</ref> He also competed at the [[1920 Summer Olympics]] and the [[1924 Summer Olympics]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.olympedia.org/athletes/4 |title=Jacques Brugnon |work=Olympedia |access-date=10 July 2020}}</ref>

Between 1921 and 1934, he played 31 times for the French [[Davis Cup]] team, mainly as a doubles player, compiling a record of 26 wins versus 11 losses. He was part of the famous Four Musketeers team that conquered the Cup in 1927 against the US, and a member of four of the five teams that defended it successfully through 1931.<ref>{{cite web |title=ITF player profile |url=http://www.daviscup.com/en/players/player/profile.aspx?playerid=10003199 |publisher=[[International Tennis Federation]] (ITF)}}</ref>

Brugnon was ranked World No. 9 for 1927 by [[A. Wallis Myers]] of [[The Daily Telegraph]].<ref name="USLTAEncyclopedia"/>

The Four Musketeers were inducted simultaneously into the [[International Tennis Hall of Fame]] in [[Newport, Rhode Island]], in 1976.
