Gustave F. Touchard of New York (born January 11, 1888), was an tennis player active in the early 1910s, famous for his elegance. Touchard's most notable achievement was the US Open championship couples title in 1911, and runner-up for the same title in 1912 (both alongside Raymond D. Little). Another important achievement for Touchard was the 1912 singles title in the Cincinnati Masters tournament and runner-up for the same title in 1913. In 1912, his wife competed for the Women Couple's title in Cincinnati, but was defeated in the final.
