Maxime Bouet (born 3 November 1986) is a French road racing cyclist who rides for Fortuneo–Vital Concept.
Born in Belley, Ain, Bouet participated at the French national track and road championships as a junior in 2003. At the track championships he won the silver medal in the individual pursuit, while at the road championships he took the bronze medal at the individual time trial. In the following year (2004) he improved both results, winning the gold medal in the individual pursuit and the silver medal in the individual time trial. In January 2006 Bouet took part in the La Tropicale Amissa Bongo, a stage race in Gabon where he finished in 15th position overall. That same year, on 1 May he finished 19th in the under-23 version of Liège–Bastogne–Liège. He also reached the fourth position of the sixth stage in the Giro della Valle d'Aosta, an individual time trial over 10.1 kilometres (6.3 miles) where he finished 51 seconds behind winner Dan Martin.
During the 2007 cycling season Bouet signed a contract with Agritubel as a stagiaire. His first notable result for them was when he reached the fourth place in the general classification of the Rhône-Alpes Isère Tour. He then came third in the first three stages of the Bidasoa Itzulia, the second stage of the Tour du Chablais, the third and fourth stage of the Ronde de l'Isard as well as the general classification of that last race.
