Olivier Mutis (born 2 February 1978) is a former French professional tennis player who retired in 2006. He did not win any ATP Tour titles but he won a total of 7 ATP Challenger Series.

His best performance in a Grand Slam was at Roland Garros in 2004, when he reached the fourth round after having defeated World No. 2 Andy Roddick in a second round match. He played his first match in over a year in the Metz International qualifying 2008. He lost to Thierry Ascione 5–7, 6–2, 5–7 in a close match.

He was the only player in history to have won every set he has played against Rafael Nadal on clay until Hubert Hurkacz replicated the feat in 2024.
