Marcel Renault (14 May 1872 – 26 May 1903) was a French racing driver and industrialist, co-founder of the car maker Renault. He was the brother of Louis and Fernand Renault.

Renault was born in Paris; he and his brothers jointly founded the Renault company on 25 February 1899. He and Louis raced the cars it built starting the next year. He died in Payré, at the age of 31, of severe injuries he sustained during the Paris-Madrid race.
