Julien Dupuy (born 19 December 1983) is a former rugby union player for Stade Français in the Top 14. He is now skills and attack coach for RC Toulonnais.

Julien Dupuy played as a scrum-half.

Julien Dupuy played for Biarritz and Toulouse in the French Top 14 for 7 seasons before joining Leicester Tigers in 2008.^[1] At the end of his first season at Leicester he helped them win the 2009 Premiership final, scoring a conversion and a penalty.^[2] It was confirmed in April 2009 that he would remain at Leicester for the 2009-10 Guinness Premiership season,^[3] but in June 2009, Leicester coach Richard Cockerill resigned himself to losing Dupuy to Stade Français. He was only halfway through a two-year deal but has reportedly been unsettled at Leicester because his French girlfriend was homesick.^[4] After the end of the season, he left Leicester for Stade Français, where his 2009-10 Top 14 season was ended early by a 24-week ban for contact with the eye or eye area of Stephen Ferris during Stade's loss to Ulster in the 2009-10 Heineken Cup.^[5] The ban was reduced to 23 weeks on appeal.^[6]

France

Dupuy made his France debut on 13 June 2009 in the first test against New Zealand at Carisbrook, Dunedin, a game that France won by 27 points to 22.^[7]^[8]
