Michel de Salzmann (31 December 1923, Paris - 4 August 2001, Paris) was a psychiatrist, and the director of the Gurdijeff Foundation from 1990 until his death.^[1] The position was inherited from his mother, Jeanne de Salzmann. Frank R. Sinclair, President of New York Foundation claims that Michel was the son of Gurdijeff.^[2]

Much of his time was occupied with tedious bureaucratic and institutional obligations, a somewhat ludicrous aspect of his responsibilities, as official guardian of a long-dead guru's rules.^[3]

His friends salute him as one of the most important spiritual figures of our century.^[4]

One of his notable students is David Hykes.
