Mikel Dufrenne (9 February 1910, in Clermont, Oise – 10 June 1995, in Paris) was a French philosopher and aesthetician.
He is known as an author of existentialism and is particularly noted for the work The Phenomenology of Aesthetic Experience (1953, in French as Phénoménologie de l'expérience esthétique). He encountered the work of Karl Jaspers while being a prisoner of war in a camp with Paul Ricœur.
Dufrenne and Ricœur later collaborated on a book on Jaspers.
