Geneviève Guilbault is a Canadian politician who was elected to the National Assembly of Quebec in a by-election held in the electoral district Louis-Hébert on October 2, 2017. She is a member of the Coalition Avenir Québec. On October 18, 2018, she was appointed Deputy Premier and Minister of Public Safety. On October 20, 2022, she was re-appointed Deputy Premier and appointed Minister of Transport replacing François Bonnardel.
Prior to her election to the legislature, she worked as a communications officer for the provincial coroner's office. She had previously planned to run for the CAQ in the electoral district of Charlesbourg in the 2018 provincial election, but was selected as the party's candidate in the October 2017 Louis-Hébert by-election, after the party's original candidate, Normand Sauvageau, resigned. Described as a potential candidate in the 2026 Coalition Avenir Québec leadership election, Guilbault announced in January 2026 that she would not seek re-election and would retire from politics.
