Gaëtan Huard (born 12 January 1962 in Montargis, Loiret) is a retired French footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Huard played 357 Ligue 1 matches for RC Lens, FC Girondins de Bordeaux and Olympique de Marseille. During the 1992–93 season, spent with the second club who finished third, he had a run of 1,176 minutes (over 13 matches) without conceding a goal.
Huard helped Bordeaux reach the 1996 UEFA Cup final, lost to FC Bayern Munich, and was also crowned league champion with Marseille in 1989 and 1990. In 1996–97, the 34-year old had an abroad stint, playing 10 La Liga contests with modest Hércules CF - which eventually suffered relegation - subsequently retiring from professional football.
Afterwards, Huard worked several years as a sports consultant for Canal+.
