Maitre Michel Alaux (1924–1974) was a French-American fencing master who co-coached the United States Olympic fencing teams in 1964, 1968 and 1972. Internationally recognized for his achievements in the sport and a regular contributor to fencing publications, he has been credited with developing a holistic approach to fencing that helped to bridge the gap between classical schools and the modern Olympic fencing style as it is known today.
