Éric Vigner (born October 27, 1960, in Rennes, France) is a French stage director, actor and scenic designer.

In 1996 he was appointed by the Minister of Culture (France) to direct Brittany's Drama Centre, henceforth called the CDDB-Théâtre de Lorient.

Besides Vigner's commitment to contemporary playwrights such as Marguerite Duras and Roland Dubillard [es; fr; gl; ht; no], for which he was awarded the honour of Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 1998, Vigner developed a new approach to the French classics - Racine's Bajazet (Comédie-Française 1995), Corneille's L’Illusion Comique (Théâtre Nanterre-Amandiers 1996), Victor Hugo's Marion De Lorme (Théâtre de la Ville 1999), Molière's L’École des femmes (Comédie-Française 1999) and Le Bourgeois gentilhomme (French-Korea cultural prize 2004) and Shakeapeare's Othello (Odéon – Théâtre de l’Europe 2008).
