Inspired by guiding of light in fiber optics, we demonstrate a means to guide the flow of electrons at the edges of a graphene crystal near charge neutrality. To visualize these states experimentally, we employ superconducting interferometry in a graphene Josephson junction and reconstruct the real-space supercurrent density using Fourier methods. To explain the observed behavior, we present a model that interprets the observed edge currents as guided-wave states, confined to the edge by natural band bending and transmitted as plane waves. At higher carrier densities, we also explore a new regime of superconducting transport in which Fabry-Perot interference of electron waves is a dominant feature. These results constitute a strong departure from conventional Josephson behavior and motivate further exploration of new effects at the intersection of superconductivity and electron-optics.
