Raynald Denoueix (born 14 May 1948) is a French football manager and former defender.
Born in Rouen, Denoueix spent his whole playing career as a defender at FC Nantes before becoming a coach at the club's youth academy. During his time at the youth academy, he discovered players such as Didier Deschamps or Marcel Desailly. After Jean-Claude Suaudeau's retirement, he became the first team coach and won the Division 1 in the 2000–01 season. He was sacked the following season due to unsatisfying results in Ligue 1. In 2002, he was signed by the Real Sociedad and led the Basque team to the second place in La Liga in the 2002–03 season. However, in the following season Sociedad performed poorly, and in light of a poor league position which could have led to relegation, Denoueix was sacked on 2 June 2004.
