Gaston Cyprès was a French international football player. At club level he played as midfielder in CA Paris. He participated as striker in the inaugurational match of the French national team against Belgium on 1 May 1904. He was also one of the first three French to score a goal in the tricolour jersey (white at that time), with his equalizer in the 87th minute (3–3), thereby also setting the end score of the international friendly. In his six selections with Les Bleus, he scored twice (in France's first two matches). In 1908 during the only match he played with a French team at the Summer Olympics, he and his team suffered a 1–17 defeat against Denmark.
