Gustave Jéquier (born August 14, 1868 Neuchâtel ; † March 24, 1946 ibid) was a Swiss Egyptologist and from 1912 to 1939 professor at the University of Neuchâtel .

Jéquier studied with Adolf Erman in Berlin and Gaston Maspero in Paris . He worked in Egypt for the Institut français d'archéologie orientale in Cairo . The focus of his excavations was in Saqqara . There he led u. a. 12 excavation campaigns to uncover the pyramid of Pharaoh Pepi II located there . His research focus was on the architecture and religion of ancient Egypt . Less well known is the fact that he was also one of the pioneers of Iranian archeology. So he took part in the years 1897-1902 in a campaign of a French research group under Jacques de Morgan in what is now Iran. He had already worked under this during his first stay in Egypt in 1892. Around the turn of the year 1901/1902, Jéquier discovered three parts of a broken diorite column with Old Babylonian cuneiform in a cave in Susa . It was the Codex Hammurapi, now kept in the Louvre .

He was awarded the title of officer in the Legion d'honneur .
