Henry Charbonneau (pseudonym: Henry Charneau) (born 12 December 1913 in Saint-Maixent-l'École, Deux-Sèvres - died 2 January 1983 in La Roche-sur-Yon) was a French far right politician and writer.

The son of a soldier, Charbonneau initially came to political activism as a member of the Action Française before embarking on a varied career with a number of far right groups.^[1] A close associate of Jean Filliol, he followed him into the Camelots du Roi militia group before, in 1930, becoming the co-editor of the journal La France Ouvrière with Henry Coston.^[1] His next stop in 1932 was the Ligue des Contributables, one of the Far right leagues that, with its anti-tax message, pre-empted the later Poujadist movement.^[1] He then became a supporter of Eugène Deloncle and in 1937 joined La Cagoule.^[1]

Charbonneau dropped out of politics in 1939 when he enlisted in the 1st Regiment of Zouaves.^[1] He returned to France in 1941 and joined Deloncle's Mouvement Social Révolutionnaire and soon became a member of the Filiol tendency that turned against Deloncle in 1942.^[1] Losing interest in the group, he enlisted in Milice, which was commanded by his uncle by marriage Joseph Darnand and took over editing duties on their journal Combats.^[1] He fled to Germany in 1944 and from his base in Berlin he served the Nazi Party as a propagandist before fleeing first to Milan and finally to Switzerland from where he was extradited to France.^[1]

Charbonneau spent a while in prison for collaborationism but returned to writing upon his release, with his material featuring in a number of far right journals.^[2] In his later years he was a member of both Ordre Nouveau and Parti des forces nouvelles.^[2]
