Pierre Brésolles,  born Claire Brésolles on 10 November 1929, was a French athlete in the 100m and 200m. He was 3rd in the Oslo European Championship in 1946 for 100m.

He is notoriously  known for being a transman. In the 50's he chose the name Pierre[1], got married and became a father. His main opponent, Léon Caurla, with whom he won tournaments in turn, proved also to be a trans man. Together they broke the record for the 4 x France 100m relay.
