Michel Dussuyer (born 28 May 1959) is a French football manager and former professional player who has managed many African national teams including Guinea, Benin and Ivory Coast.

Dussuyer played club football as a goalkeeper for Cannes, Nice and Alès.

He was an assistant coach at Cannes between 1996 and 2002.

He was appointed as manager of the Guinea national team in September 2002. He led them to the 2004 African Cup of Nations, their first appearance in the competition since 1998. The country reached the quarter-finals of the competition - their best result in 30 years - but he resigned in March 2004, citing family reasons.

In 2006, he was an assistant coach to Henri Michel for the Ivory Coast national team, for the 2006 Africa Cup of Nations. He returned to Cannes as manager, from 2006 to 2007.

He was appointed as manager of the Benin national team in June 2008. He was sacked in February 2010, along with the rest of the coaching staff. He claimed he was not informed of his sacking by the Fédération Béninoise de Football.

In May 2010 he returned as manager of Guinea. After leaving in late 2013, he was re-appointed in February 2014. After taking Guinea to the quarter-finals of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, he became manager of the Ivory Coast national team in July 2015.
