Xavier Gravelaine (born 5 October 1968) is a French football manager and former football player, who played for many clubs in France and Europe and for the France national team.

He was sometimes seen as a mercenary because of the impressive number of teams he played for but often appreciated by supporters. In his spell in England, for Watford, he is remembered by the fans for scoring a brace in a 3–2 win over Southampton in December 1999. [1]

After his retirement, he became a coach at FC Istres, but did not manage to save the team from relegation. He was a consultant on France Télévisions from 2004 to 2012, on Eurosport in 2013–2014. In 2014, he was appointed Deputy Director of Stade Malherbe Caen.
