Guy Day (July 30, 1930 – January 16, 2010) was an American advertising executive who cofounded Chiat/Day with Jay Chiat in 1968. The agency went on to do memorable work for Apple Computer, including the Macintosh "1984" Super Bowl commercial. He was born in Chicago, Illinois.

From 1994 - 1997 Guy sat on the board of The Leap Group and advised the partners of The Leap Partnership.
