Renée Marie Gouraud d'Ablancourt, née Marie Renée Joséphine Meslet ((1853-10-01)October 1, 1853 – (1941-05-13)May 13, 1941), was a French writer of romance novels, historical fiction and science fiction.

She went by the pen name Renée Marie Gouraud d'Ablancourt, partly using her marital name (her spouse was Georges François Marie Lucien Gouraud en 1872) and partly her mother's (Julie Clotilde Emerance Perrot d'Ablancourt).

She also wrote under various pen names as René d'Anjou, Pierre d'Anjou or Perrot d'Blancourt, as a reference to her origins in the ancient County of Anjou.
