Sarah Guyot (born 16 April 1991 in Vannes, Morbihan) is a French sprint canoeist.[1][3] Guyot is a member of Canoe Kayak Club Tours in Tours, and is coached and trained by Nicolas Maillot.[1][2] She began to canoe when she was 10, following an elder brother who also canoed at that time.[4]

Guyot represented France at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, where she competed in the women's K-4 500 metres, along with her teammates Marie Delattre, Joanne Mayer, and Gabrielle Tuleu. Guyot and her team finished last in the final by more than a second behind the Russian team (led by Yuliana Salakhova), recording the slowest time of 1:35.299.[5]

At the 2013 U23 World Championships, she won a gold medal in the K-1 500 m.[6]

In 2014, the European U23 Championships were held in Mantes-en-Yvelines, France; Guyot won two gold medals on home water, the K-1 200 m and the K-1 500 m.[6]

At the 2016 Olympics, Guyot competed in the K-1 200 m, reaching the final, where she finished in 5th place.[7]

In 2017, she graduated from her training in physiotherapy, allowing her to concentrate on canoeing.[4]
