André Giriat (20 August 1905 – 11 July 1967) was a French rower. He had his best achievements in coxed pairs, together with Anselme Brusa and coxswain Pierre Brunet, winning the national title in 1927 and 1931, the European title in 1931, and an Olympic bronze medal in 1932. He then rowed double sculls with Robert Jacquet, winning a European bronze medal in 1935 and finishing fourth at the 1936 Olympics.[1][2]
Giriat won 10 French Championships: in the single sculls (1925), coxed pairs (1927, 1931), double sculls (1935–37, 1939 and 1945) and eights (1942–43).[1]
