Élie Marcel Bayol (born 28 February 1914 in Marseille; died 25 May 1995 in La Ciotat) was a French Formula One driver who raced for the O.S.C.A. and Gordini teams. He started his career in Formula 2 races and hillclimbs around France in the early 1950s; his best result was a fourth place in the Circuit de Cadours, in 1951. In 1953 he was fourth again at Pau and got a pole position at Albi.

His Formula One World Championship career consisted of entering 8 races over a 5 year span. After two years with an OSCA, he joined the Gordini team in 1954 with Jean Behra. He scored his only 2 championship points with a fifth place finish in Argentina. He also finished fourth at a non-championship event at Pau. In 1956 he raced a few times but disappeared from single-seater racing.
