Charles Vildrac (November 22, 1882 – June 25, 1971), born "Charles Messager",[1] was a French playwright and poet.

Born in Paris, Vildrac's first poems were written when he was a teenager in the 1890s. In 1901 he published Le Verlibrisme, a defense of traditional verse. In 1912 he published a collection of prose poems.[1]
