Pierre Marcilhacy (February 14 1910-July 6 1987) was a French politician.

He was a Senator for the Charente, sitting in the Democratic Left group. He ran against Charles de Gaulle in the French presidential election, 1965 for the European Liberal Party, a small centrist liberal group. He won 1.71% and sided with Francois Mitterrand, who happened to be born in the same town, Jarnac, in the runoff.

He lost his Senate seat in 1981 but entered the Constitutional Council of France in 1983.
