Maurice Germot (French pronunciation: [mɔʁis ʒɛʁmo, moʁ-]; 15 November 1882 – 6 August 1958) was a French tennis player and Olympic champion. He was twice an Olympic Gold medallist in doubles, partnering Max Decugis in 1906 and André Gobert in 1912, and a Silver medallist in singles in 1906.[1][2]

Germot won the French Championships in 1905, 1906 and 1910, and was a finalist in 1908, 1909 and 1911.[a]
