Patrick J. Gyger (born 1971 in São Paulo, Brazil) is a Swiss historian and writer. In the 1990s he specialised in medieval studies and in 1998 published the book, L'Épée Et La Corde: Criminalité Et Justice À Fribourg (1475-1505) on the topic of crime and justice. One of Gyger's publications is the history of the flying car, with Les voitures volantes, Souvenirs d'un futur rêvé (2005, rev. 2019), published in English as Flying Cars: The Extraordinary History of Cars Designed for Tomorrow's World. From 1999 to 2010, he was the director of Maison d'Ailleurs, museum of utopia in Switzerland. In late 2010, Gyger was appointed as the director of Le Lieu unique, French national cultural center in Nantes. In 2014, the Swiss Federal Council appointed him Honorary Consul of Switzerland in Nantes.
