Maxime Bossis (French pronunciation: [maksim bɔsis]; born 26 June 1955 in Saint-André-Treize-Voies, Vendée) is a retired football defender from France, who obtained 76 caps (one goal) for the French national team, won the 1984 European Football Championship and played in two World Cup semi-finals.
A left-back, Bossis spent most of his career playing for Nantes, a club he helped win three Ligue 1 titles and one Coupe de France.
A longtime starter for FC Nantes during the club's most successful period during the 1970s and 1980s, Bossis was noted chiefly as a full-back on the left flank, but filled in at various roles in defence. Bossis spent much of his time at right back during Nantes' championship-winning seasons in 1977 and 1980, in which Thierry Tusseau normally started on the left, but made the left back position his own beginning in 1981. Bossis helped Nantes to finish first or second in every season between 1976 and 1981. The club added a third title in 1983, finishing ten points ahead of second-place Girondins Bordeaux. In 1985, Bossis moved to the ambitious RC Paris, but the Parisian club achieved only modest success in spite of heavy spending that acquired such players as Enzo Francescoli and Pierre Littbarski. Bossis returned to Nantes for one final season in 1990, lining up next to future French international Marcel Desailly before retiring from play.
