Bruno Massot (born 28 January 1989) is a French-born pair skater. Competing with Aliona Savchenko for Germany, he is the 2016 World bronze medalist, a two-time European silver medalist, and 2016 German national champion.

With former partner Daria Popova, he is the 2014 Challenge Cup champion and 2012 French national champion.

Bruno Massot was born on 28 January 1989 in Caen, France. On April 15, 2015, he announced his engagement to his longtime girlfriend, Sophie Levaufre.

Massot competed in single skating through the 2006-07 season. He then switched to pair skating and teamed up with Camille Foucher, with whom he won a pair of senior bronze medals at the French Championships and competed at two World Junior Championships. After their partnership ended, he skated with Anne-Laure Letscher until February 2011.

Massot and Daria Popova decided to team up in March 2011 and began serious training in June. They train in Caen, France with Jean-Francois Ballester. In their first season together, they also trained about three weeks every three months with Ingo Steuer in Chemnitz, Germany.

Popova/Massot's first competition together was the 2011 Master's de Patinage, where they won the silver medal. They were tenth in their international debut at the 2011 Coupe de Nice and placed fourth at the 2011 NRW Trophy. In December 2011, they won the 2012 French national title ahead of Vanessa James / Morgan Cipres. Visa and administrative delays led to uncertainty about their participation at the 2012 European Championships but the situation was resolved just before the event. Popova/Massot placed sixth in the short program and eighth overall. They were not assigned to the 2012 World Championships, but were part of the French team for the World Team Trophy.
