Laurent Clozel (born 23 October 1953 in Gap, France) is a French mathematician and professor at Paris-Saclay University whose mathematical work is in the area of automorphic forms, including the Langlands program. He was a student at the École normale supérieure and later obtained his doctorate under Michel Duflo and Paul Gérardin. He received the Prix Élie Cartan of the French Academy for his work on base change for automorphic forms and was an invited speaker at the 1986 International Congress of Mathematicians in Berkeley, where he spoke on base change for GL(n). Together with Richard Taylor, Nicholas Shepherd-Barron and Michael Harris he proved the Sato-Tate conjecture.

The original conjecture and its generalization to all totally real fields was proved by Laurent Clozel, Michael Harris, Nicholas Shepherd-Barron, and Richard Taylor under mild assumptions in 2008, and completed by Thomas Barnet-Lamb, David Geraghty, Harris, and Taylor in 2011.
