Géraud Sénizergues (born 9 March 1957) is a French computer scientist at the University of Bordeaux.

He is known for his contributions to automata theory, combinatorial group theory and abstract rewriting systems.[1]

He received his Ph.D. (Doctorat d'état en Informatique) from the Université Paris Diderot (Paris 7) in 1987 under the direction of Jean-Michel Autebert.[2]

With Yuri Matiyasevich he obtained results about the Post correspondence problem.[3] He won the 2002 Gödel Prize "for proving that equivalence of deterministic pushdown automata is decidable".[4][5][6] In 2003 he was awarded with the Gay-Lussac Humboldt Prize.
