Jacques (or Jacquot) d'Arc (sometimes spelled Darc, Dars, Tart, Tarc, Darx, or Day; 1375–1431) was a farmer from Domrémy, France, who was the father of the French military leader and Catholic saint Joan of Arc. D'Arc is most known for being an influence on his daughter Joan's life, developing her leadership abilities through his example as a local government and military leader as well as restricting her ambitions with his controlling behaviour that resulted in a strained relationship between them.
