Bertrand Layec (French pronunciation: [bɛʁtʁɑ̃ lajɛk]; born 3 July 1965) is a former French football referee. He was registered as a Fédéral 1 referee in France meaning he is eligible to officiate Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 matches, as well as matches in the Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue. Layec refereed his first match in Ligue 1 in 1998 and, in 2002, became a FIFA official. He refereed his last match on the final day of the 2009–10 season and now serves as the president of the Direction Nationale de L'Arbitrage (English: National Leadership of Arbitration) (DNA).[1] Layec is currently under investigation by the French justice system for defamation of character after distributing an abusive e-mail directed at Bruno Derrien, a former referee who authored a controversial book directed at his profession.[2]

At international level, Layec officiated at the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup,[3] as well as Euro 2008 qualifiers[4] and 2010 World Cup qualifiers.[5]
