Richard Grenier (December 30, 1933 - January 29, 2002) was a neoconservative cultural columnist for The Washington Times and a film critic for Commentary and The New York Times. He graduated from the United States Naval Academy, studied at the Institut des Sciences Politiques in Paris, and did graduate work at Harvard.

He is particularly known for his review on the critically acclaimed film, "Gandhi", involving scathing attacks on Gandhi and India. The review was itself criticized by Jason DeParle in a successive issue of The Washington Monthly.^[1]

Grenier wrote two novels, Yes and Back Again (1967) and The Marrakesh One-Two (1983), and a collection of essays, Capturing the Culture: Film, Art and Politics (1991).
