Didier Gailhaguet (born 22 August 1953 in Béziers, France) is a former French figure skater and the president of the Fédération Française des Sports de Glace (French Ice Sports Federation). Gailhaguet was a central figure in the 2002 Olympic Winter Games figure skating scandal, in which Marie-Reine Le Gougne ("the French judge") confessed to having judged wrongly in the pairs competition under pressure from Gailhaguet, who was at that time the president of the French federation. Witnesses of Le Gougne's confession were Sally-Anne Stapleford (Great Britain), Britta Lindgren (Sweden), Walburga Grimm (Germany) and Jon Jackson (USA). Gailhaguet's chauffeur in Salt Lake City additionally testified to having overheard evidence of his involvement on the scandal.
