Michel Henri Devoret ( French pronunciation: [miʃɛl dəvɔʁɛ]; born 5 March 1953) is a French-American physicist. He is Professor of Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and Professor Emeritus of Applied Physics at Yale University. He serves as the Chief Scientist for Quantum Hardware at Google Quantum AI. He is known for the development of various superconducting quantum computing architectures, including the quantronium, the transmon, and the fluxonium.

He shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics with John Clarke and John M. Martinis for their joint work on macroscopic quantum phenomena in superconducting circuits.
