Guy Ligier (born 12 July 1930 in Vichy, Allier) is a French former rugby player and racing driver.
He first made his name as a rugby player in the late 1940s when he was working as a butcher's assistant in his home town of Vichy. An orphan, he was determined to build up a successful business and saved all his money in order to buy a bulldozer and then went into the construction business. When his rugby career ended - after he had played for the French national team - he began racing motorcycles before trying his hand at single-seater racing with a Formula Junior Elva.
