Simon François (I) Ravenet (1706–1774) was a French engraver.
He was born in Paris, where he studied engraving under Jacques-Philippe Le Bas before moving to London in 1750, where he founded a school of line engraving[1] and is credited with the revival of engraving in England.[2] He died in London. Some of his work remains on display at the National Portrait Gallery[3] as well as at the Cleveland Museum of Art.[4]
