Raphaël Colantonio (born 1971) is a French video game designer, and was the founder and for 18 years president of Arkane Studios.

He has served as creative director on several of Arkane's titles, including co-creator with Harvey Smith for the Dishonored series.

[1] When Colantonio was about 18 years old, at the verge of having to perform mandatory military service that France had at the time, he participated in a contest held by Electronic Arts (EA) on knowledge about the Ultima series, which he had been a fan of.

[5] In a 2020 interview, he said that part of his reason for leaving was "creative anxiety" around delivering a triple A quality game where it felt like more like making a product instead, as well as wanting to take a break to focus on other matters.

After collaborating with Ava Gore on the song Realization for the Prey: Mooncrash soundtrack, the two formed Weird Wolves.
