Gilles-Barnabé Guimard (French pronunciation: [ʒil baʁnabe ɡimaʁ]; also Gilles Barnabé Guymard de Larabe or Barnabé Guimard; 1734 – 1805) was a French architect.

He spent his entire career in the Habsburg Netherlands (present-day Belgium) where he led important architectural and urbanistic projects such as the Place Royale/Koningsplein and the Palace of the Council of Brabant, which today houses the Belgian Federal Parliament, both in the City of Brussels.
