Maurice Vinot (French pronunciation: [mɔʁis vino]; 3 November 1888 – 23 June 1916) was a French film actor of the early 20th-century whose career ended early in 1916 when he was killed in an airplane accident in Pontlevoy, France after enlisting in the military to fight in World War I. Maurice Vinot was born in the 11th arrondissement of Paris in 1888.

His first known film role was in the 1908 Feuillade directed short Le Récit du colonel opposite actresses Renée Carl and Alice Tissot.

Vinot would follow this with a number of other short films released in 1908 in roles directed by Feuillade and again, sharing billing with Carl and Tissot.

[2] Vinot would work steadily in films until 1914 and the outbreak of World War I when he enlisted in the newly created French Air Force, obtaining the rank of Private, 2nd Class.

A "street", the second on the left after passing the portal of the military aviation school in Tours, later bore the name rue Vinot in his honour.
