Laurent Meunier (born January 16, 1979) is a French-born Swiss former professional ice hockey player who spent most of his career in Switzerland playing in the National League (NL) and the Swiss League (SL). He also captained the French National team for 13 years, the longest serving captain of a national sporting team in the world.

Meunier currently co-hosts hockey TV show, Le Repas d'équipe, with fellow French-born Swiss former goaltender Cristobal Huet on MySports.

In May 2017, Meunier played at the 2017 IIHF World Championship, in Paris, representing France, as lead team captain. This represented his swan song, and he retired from the national team after finishing the tournament. He played his last game at the final round robin game of France, against Slovenia, with a win, retiring with France's Lead Goaltender Cristobal Huet. Team France (Les Bleus) did not advance to the medal round, but was not relegated.^[1][2]
