Patrice Goueslard (born 26 November 1965) is a French racing driver. He competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans each year from 1999 until 2010, having initially made his debut at the event in 1994. His best finish in the event came in 2006, when he and Larbre Compétition drivers Luc Alphand and Jérôme Policand took seventh overall, and third in the GT1 category. In addition to this, he has won the French GT Championship and the GT1 category of the Le Mans Series on three occasions each, as well as the Gentleman Trophy category of the Blancpain Endurance Series on one occasion.
Goueslard began his auto racing career in 1990, whilst competing in the Championnat de France Formule Renault, with his best finish in the series being 11th in 1993. He made his debut in the 24 Hours of Le Mans the following year, driving for Elf Haberthur Racing with Olivier Haberthur and Patrick Vuillaume, but a turbocharger failure on the team's Porsche 911 Turbo forced them to retire. That year, he also competed in the Porsche Carrera Cup France, finishing fifth in Class B. He remained in the series for the next two seasons, finishing sixth in 1995 (winning Class B in the process), and fourth in 1996. In the latter year, he also competed in the BPR Global GT Series, driving for Larbre Competition in a GT2-class Porsche 911 GT2, and he finished the season in 21st place. He also drove for Larbre Competition at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, finishing 20th overall, and seventh in the GT2 class.
