René Menard (2 March 1605 in Paris - August 1661) was a French Jesuit missionary explorer who traveled to Canada in 1641, learned the language of the Wyandot, and was soon in charge of many of the satellite missions around Sainte-Marie among the Hurons.
Menard also worked with the Iroquois, and was said to speak six Indian dialects.
He survived the continuous attacks from the Iroquois on the Huron.
