Olivier Guyon (born 1975) is a French-American astronomer. He is an astronomer at the Steward Observatory of the college of science and professor in the James C. Wyant College of Optical Sciences,[1] both of The University of Arizona. He is the SCExAO Project Scientist at the Subaru Telescope. Guyon was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship "Genius Grant" in 2012.[2]

Guyon designs telescopes and other astronomical instrumentation that aid in the search for exoplanets planets outside the Solar System.[3] Specifically, coronagraphs and extreme adaptive optics.

Guyon developed the PANOPTES project,[4] a citizen science project that aims to make it easy for anyone to build a low cost, robotic telescope that can be used to detect transiting exoplanets.
