Charles-Pierre Colardeau (12 October 1732 in Janville – 7 April 1776 in Paris) was a French poet.
His most notable works are an imitation of Eloisa to Abelard by Alexander Pope and a translation of the first two sections of Night-Thoughts by Edward Young.
They witness to the pre-Romantic sensibility of the 18th century, as also seen in the works of Rousseau, Diderot and Prévost.
He also naturalized Ovid's term.
Heroides, as 'héroïdes', imaginary poetic letters by famous people.
The relatively small size of his œuvre is attributed by some to his fragile health (he died aged only 43) and by others to proverbial laziness.
