Gustave Adolphe Clément, known from 1909 Clément-Bayard (French pronunciation: [klemɑ̃ bajaʁ]; 22 September 1855 – 10 March 1928), was a French entrepreneur. Despite being orphaned, he became a blacksmith and a Compagnon du Tour de France. He later ventured into racing and manufacturing bicycles, pneumatic tyres, motorcycles, automobiles, aeroplanes and airships.

In 1894, he was a passenger in the winning vehicle in the world's first competitive motor event. Albert Lemaître's Peugeot was judged to be the winner of the Paris–Rouen 'Competition for Horeseless Carriages' (Concours des Voitures sans Chevaux).

As a result of selling the manufacturing rights to his Clément car, he added Bayard to the name of his new business. The company name honoured Chevalier Pierre Terrail, seigneur de Bayard, who saved the company's town of Mézières from an Imperial army during the Siege of Mézières in 1521.

In 1909, five years after the successful launch of the Clément-Bayard automobile brand, he applied for and obtained the consent of the Conseil d'Etat to change his surname (and that of his descendants) to Clément-Bayard. He was appointed a Commander of the Légion d'honneur in 1912.

Most of his manufacturing empire was destroyed by World War I – by German ransacking, by conversion to war production for France, and by the subsequent weak economic market. In 1922, the Clément-Bayard company was sold to André Citroën, and the factory at Levallois-Perret became the centre of 2CV manufacturing for the next 40 years.
