Robert Guéï (French pronunciation: [ɡe.i]; 16 March 1941 – 19 September 2002) was an Ivorian politician who was the military ruler from 24 December 1999 to 26 October 2000.

Guéï was born in Kabakouma, a village in the western Man Department, and was a member of the Yacouba ethnic community.

He was an ardent supporter of longtime President Félix Houphouët-Boigny, who in 1990, appointed him chief of the army following a mutiny.

Guéï's refusal to mobilize his troops to resolve a political struggle between Bédié and the opposition leader Alassane Ouattara in October 1995 led to his dismissal.

Although Guéï had no role in the coup, the popular general was encouraged out of retirement to head the junta until the next elections.
