Julien Baudet (born 13 January 1979 in Grenoble) is a French professional football (soccer) player, currently with English League One club Crewe Alexandra.

Although excelling as a skiier in his youth, Baudet chose to concentrate at football, beginning his career with Toulouse FC in France, where he spent two years, clocking up 21 league appearances.

In 2001 Baudet moved to Oldham Athletic in the third tier in England on a free transfer. Spending two years at Oldham, he made 44 league appearances, scoring his first goal on 2002-04-20 against QPR.

After a free transfer in summer 2003 to Rotherham United in the second tier, Baudet played 11 times in the league before a free transfer to Notts County in Football League Two, where he spent two seasons as a regular starter and became club captain.

In July 2006, Baudet moved on yet another free transfer - to Crewe, where he has started regularly.
