Sébastien Masi (born 16 July 1974 in Clermont-Ferrand, France) is a distinguished French head chef and Michelin star-awarded restaurateur, recognized for his association with Locks Brasserie.
In 1994, Masi relocated to Ireland to undertake training at Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud. Subsequently, he joined The Commons Restaurant, where he advanced to the position of head chef at just 22 years old. Although the restaurant had previously held a Michelin star, it did not maintain this accolade for the year 1998.

A decade later, in 2010, they purchased Locks Brasserie located in Portobello, Dublin, which successfully received a Michelin star in September 2012. The establishment ceased operations in July 2015.
