Pierre Bouteyre (born 7 September 1971) is a tennis coach and former professional player from France.[1]

Bouteyre qualified for two Grand Slam tournaments during his career.[2] His first appearance was in the 1993 French Open, where he was defeated by Bart Wuyts in the opening round.[2] He fared better at the 1996 Wimbledon Championships, winning a 230-minute-long five-set marathon over world number 23 Carlos Moyá, 10–8 in the final set.[2] The Frenchman was eliminated in the second round, by seventh-seed Goran Ivanišević.[2]

In 2022, Bouteyre was formally accused of rape and sexual assault by former protégée Fiona Ferro.[3] [needs update]
