René Perin (1 November 1774 – 9 May 1858) was a 19th-century French playwright, publisher, translator and novelist.
A lawyer and sous-préfet of Montluçon during the Hundred Days, he resigned from his positions when the Bourbons returned to power.
He used several pseudonyms such as René de Biborium-Chateauterne or René Biborium de Chateauterne as a writer.
His plays were presented on the most important Parisian stages of his time including the Théâtre de l'Ambigu-Comique, the Théâtre du Vaudeville, the Théâtre de l'Odéon, the Théâtre de la Gaîté, and the Théâtre des Variétés.
For thirty years he was a collaborator to the Moniteur, and he also wrote historical and geographical studies.
