Christophe Guilluy ({{IPA|fr|gilɥi}}, born 14 October 1964 in Montreuil, Seine-Saint-Denis) is a French geographer and author.
He is known for his theory on "peripheral France" ({{langx|fr|la France périphérique}}), laid out in the 2014 book La France périphérique, which refers to mainly rural areas of France where many members of the political elite have lost contact with working-class people. He has used that theory to explain the rise of the far-right National Front in the country.{{cite news |title=An unprecedented election, with unprecedented risks |url=https://www.economist.com/briefing/2017/03/04/an-unprecedented-election-with-unprecedented-risks |access-date=5 April 2022 |work=The Economist |date=4 March 2017}}
He also theorised the reason for American support of Donald Trump by the existence of a peripheral America during an interview in the French magazine Le Point.{{cite web |title=De l'Amérique de Trump à la France périphérique, il n'y a qu'un pas |url=http://www.lepoint.fr/societe/faire-passer-les-classes-populaires-pour-fascisees-est-tres-pratique-16-11-2016-2083327_23.php#xtor=CS2-282}}
