Michel Rodange (1827-1876) was a Luxembourgish writer.

Rodange was born in Wasserbillig. He was a schoolteacher by profession, teaching in Steinsel and Larochette, although he later became a city worker in Echternach.

His most notable work was Rénert the Fox, published in 1872. An epic satirical work, an adaptation of the traditional Flemish/Low German fox epic to a setting in Luxembourg, it is known for its inciteful analysis of the unique characteristics of the people of Luxembourg, using regional and sub regional dialects to depict the fox and his companions.

The Lycée michel-rodange (a school) in Luxembourg is named after him. He has been featured on two postage stamps.
