Pascal Praud (born 9 September 1964) is a French far-right personality, sports journalist, radio columnist, radio host, television presenter and producer. After 20 years with TF1, especially alongside Thierry Roland on Téléfoot, he became general manager in charge of communication and marketing of FC Nantes in 2008 for two years.

On television, since 2017, he has produced and hosted several shows on CNews dealing with football as well as current affairs and politics. In the French media, according to some, Pascal Praud would participates in the normalisation of the ideas of the French far-right, notably those of Éric Zemmour, and in the archconservative political positions held by Vincent Bolloré. He has generated controversy on multiple occasions for positions he espoused during his broadcasts. These include denying the existence of climate change and tying the spread of bedbugs to immigration. He has also been accused of misogyny towards many of his female colleagues.
