Renée Trent-Ganault was a French athlete. She ran for successive clubs such as AS Philotechnique in 1925, and especially the Alsace Lorraine from Paris in 1926. A cross country and middle distance specialist, she was elected Cross Country woman of the century by the French Athletics Federation, because of her many victories between 1925 and 1946. She was French Cross Country Champion in 1929, 1941 and 1942. She was selected for five international French teams before the war in cross country.

Renee was ninth in the 1938 International Cross Country Championships, an early pioneer in women's distance running.
