Biot or BIOT may refer to:
Biot is a small, bowl-shaped lunar crater located in the southern reaches of the Mare Fecunditatis. It is a circular formation with a sharp-edged rim that has not been significantly worn. The inner walls slope down to a relatively small interior floor. The albedo of the wide inner walls is higher than the surrounding lunar mare, giving it a light hue. To the southeast is the crater Wrottesley.

- Camille Biot (1850–1918), French physician
- Édouard Biot (1803–1850), French engineer and sinologist
- Jean-Baptiste Biot (1774–1862), French physicist and mathematician
