Laurent Castillo (French pronunciation: [lɔʁɑ̃ kastijo]; born 12 March 1962) is a French politician of the Union of the Right for the Republic (UDR) who was elected a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) in 2024 on the list presented by The Republicans (LR).[1] He is a surgeon and university professor by occupation.

Following the 2024 The Republicans alliance crisis, Castillo joined Éric Ciotti's new UDR party as its sole MEP, having been described as a close ally to Ciotti. Previously, he ran for the National Assembly in the 2022 legislative election, placing fourth in the first round in the 3rd constituency of Alpes-Maritimes.[2]
