Gérard Biard (born 1958/1959) is a French journalist. He is the editor‑in‑chief of the satirical French news magazine, Charlie Hebdo.[2]

Biard has been associated with Charlie Hebdo since 1992, when it was relaunched after a 10-year hiatus.[3] He was in London for a conference when Charlie Hebdo’s Paris office was targeted in a January 2015 terrorist attack.[4]

In May 2015, Biard and film critic Jean-Baptiste Thoret accepted the PEN/Toni and James C. Goodale Freedom of Expression Courage Award on behalf of Charlie Hebdo.[5]

Biard is strongly in favour of secularity. In October 2014 he participated in a conference of the French feminist organization Regards de femmes on the topic.[6] He is a founder and spokesperson for Zéromacho, an organization of men "against prostitution and for equality".[7][8]
