Ludovic Mercier (born 1 November 1976)[1] is a French former rugby union player.

He is a fly half. He was one of the quickest players in history to reach 500 Premiership points; his goal-kicking and place kicking being his particular strengths. Whilst at Gloucester he started in the 2002 Zurich Championship Final (the year before winning the play-offs constituted winning the English title) in which Gloucester defeated Bristol Rugby, scoring one conversion and seven penalties.[2] He also started in the 2003 Powergen Cup Final in which Gloucester defeated Northampton Saints. In the final Mercier scored four conversions, three penalties and a drop goal.[3]

In June 2010 he joined Aironi for their first season in the Celtic League.[4]
