Guy Péqueux (18 June 1942 – 7 January 2021) was a French painter and lithographer.

Biography Péqueux was born in Montmorillon during World War II. A poor student, he discovered painting while staying with his grandmother in Chaumont-Porcien. From 1960 to 1965, he exhibited his early paintings in Montparnasse and met Michel Kikoine, Pinchus Kremegne, and . He then showed exhibitions in Bar-le-Duc, Beaulieu-en-Argonne, and Nancy before starting a series of personal exhibitions in Troyes in 1966, where he befriended Paul Rebeyrolle.

Péqueux solidified his style of expressionism in trips to the Nordic countries, Russia, the Caucasus, the Middle East, Africa, and Greece.
