Christine Renard (February 10, 1929 – November 7, 1979) was a French writer of science fiction and fantasy.^[1]

She was born in a small town of Nièvre. She began her studies in Clermont-Ferrand before studying psychology in Paris. Her literary career began in 1962, but was cut short by cancer.^[2] She won the Prix Rosny-Aîné posthumously for the story La nuit des albiens. She was the partner of Claude-François Cheinisse [fr].^[3]

In 1972, Renard published La Fenêtre, a critique of antisemitism in science fiction set in an intergalactic future.^[1] One of her most famous short stories, Au Creux des Arches, published in 1975, juxtaposed a separatist feminist utopia with the dystopic environmental crisis of the late twentieth century.^[1]
