Eugène Renduel (18 November 1798 – 19 October 1874) was a 19th-century Frenchpublisher.

After he started working as a clerk by an "avoué" inClamecy, he moved toParis in 1819. First an employee by a bookseller, he established his own bookshop in 1828 at 22rue des Grands-Augustins in the modern6th arrondissement and soon became the regular publisher ofromantic writers. During the 1830s, he took part in all meetings of the new school and met the future celebrities, still beginners, mostly those of the literary world of the time. Between 1831 and 1838, he published works byHugo,Nodier,Eugène Sue,Sainte-Beuve,Musset,Gautier,Lamennais,Pétrus Borel, etc. However, he eventually dropped theGaspard de la nuit byAloysius Bertrand seven years after signing the contract with the author. He knew upon the best illustrators of the time,Célestin Nanteuil,Louis Boulanger,Tony Johannot, who would provide him with engravings.

In 1838, he purchased the castle ofBeuvron (Nièvre) where he retired two years later, waiving any publishing activity.

His publishing house was taken over byLouis Hachette.
