Michel Raynaud (French: [ʁɛno]; born 16 June 1938) is a French mathematician working in algebraic geometry. Since 1967 he has been a professor at Paris-Sud 11 University.

In 1983 he published a proof of the Manin-Mumford conjecture.[1]

In 1970 Raynaud was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians at Nice. In 1987 he received the Prize Ampère from the Académie des Sciences. In 1995 he received the Cole Prize, together with David Harbater, for his solution of the Abhyankar conjecture.
