Lucien Gaudin (fr. Lucien Gaudin; September 27, 1886, Arras — September 23, 1934) was a French fencer, four—time Olympic champion, world and European champion, multiple French champion. One of the three athletes in the history of France who have won more than three Olympic gold medals (along with Martin Fourcade and Christian D’Oriola).

The only fencer in the history of the Olympic Games who managed to become the best in the individual championship in two types of weapons within the same Olympic Games (Amsterdam 1928, sword and rapier). He became a world champion for the first time at the age of 20 in 1905, his sports career lasted from 1904 to 1929. After completing his sports career, he led a lavish life, being a hereditary banker, for this reason, throughout his sports career, he had a manner of refusing any kind of rewards for winning competitions. He committed suicide at the age of 47.
