André Bénard (19 August 1922 – 15 March 2016) was a French industrialist who, as chairman of Eurotunnel, "helped lead the construction of the Channel Tunnel linking France and Britain.
He retired as co-chairman of Eurotunnel Group after the 31-mile tunnel opened in 1994, but later was accused by investors of misleading them about prospects for the project.
In 2007, a French court cleared him of those charges." He was married to Jacqueline Bénard, a former magazine editor.
