Jean-Félix Tchicaya was a Congolese politician in the French colony of Middle Congo. He was born in Libreville on November 9, 1903 and was a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Loango.

In 1945, he was elected as the first deputy for Middle-Congo and the Gabon in the French National Assembly, a seat he retained until the end of the French Fourth Republic. He helped found the Congolese Progressive Party (PPC), a Congolese branch of the African Democratic Rally, in 1946.

He died in Point Noire on January 15, 1961 seeing his rival Fulbert Youlou gain power over a newly independent Republic of Congo.
