Châtel-Guyon (; ) is a commune in the Puy-de-Dôme department in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes in central France.
The name Châtel-Guyon comes from Castellum Guidonis, “Guy’s Castle”, after Guy II of Auvergne, the founder of the city. Prior to June 2008 it was officially known as Châtelguyon, the change in the official styling being an adoption of its colloquial spelling, as, for example, used by Guy de Maupassant in his 1884 short story, "Le tic".
