Pierre Guédron (c. 1570, Châteaudun – c. 1620, Paris) was a French singer and composer, court musician to Henri IV who rose to become surintendant des musiques de la chambre du roi in 1613.
A central figure in the development of the air de cour, Guédron published six volumes of airs; his songs were widely arranged and imitated by later composers of the French court repertoire.
