Alain Goraguer [a.lɛ̃ go.ra.gɛʁ] (20 August 1931 – 13 February 2023) was a French jazz pianist, sideman of Boris Vian and Serge Gainsbourg, arranger and composer.

Goraguer was a composer/arranger of music for Serge Gainsbourg, Salvatore Adamo and Jean Ferrat, Serge Reggiani and Nana Mouskouri.

In 1965 he was the orchestra conductor for Luxembourg's winning entry in the Eurovision Song Contest, "Poupée de cire, poupée de son". (Though it represented Luxembourg, the song had an entirely French creative team behind it, as it was sung by France Gall, written by Gainsbourg, and conducted by Goraguer.)

He composed some or all of the music for films including La Planète Sauvage (1973), La Vie de bohème (1992), Deux jours à tuer (2008) and Saint Laurent (2014).

Goraguer died on 13 February 2023, at the age of 91.
