Guillaume-Joseph Grelot (c. 1630 ― 1680s) was a 17th-century French Old Masters artist. A large majority of his works were dedicated to King Louis XIV. His etchings were based on architecture and ruins he viewed in Constantinople, i.e. Istanbul of the Ottoman Empire. He is said to have continued the works of Pierre Gilles. He published a book of his etchings and travels in 1680.
