René Carmille (born in Trémolat, Dordogne, France, 1886; died in Dachau, Bavaria, Nazi Germany, 25 January 1945) was a punched card computer expert and comptroller general of the French Army in the early 20th century.
In World War II he was a double agent for the French Resistance and part of the Marco Polo Network.
He ran the Demographics Department (Service de la démographie) of Vichy which soon, through a merger with the SGF (General Statistics of France), became the new National Statistics Service, which he continued to head up.
In this capacity, he sabotaged the Nazi census of France, saving untold numbers of Jewish people from death camps.
