Benoît Biteau (French pronunciation: [bənwa bito]; born 7 April 1967) is a French farmer, agronomist and politician who was elected the deputy for the 2nd constituency of Charente-Maritime in the National Assembly in the 2024 legislative election. He ran under the The Ecologists (LÉ) banner, part of the New Popular Front (NFP) alliance.[1][2]

Biteau was previously elected a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) in 2019 at place 11 on the Europe Ecology – The Greens list.[3][4][5][6] He failed to win reelection in 2024 and chose to run for the National Assembly a month later.

He also held a seat in the Regional Council of Poitou-Charentes (2010–2015) and its successor, the Regional Council of Nouvelle-Aquitaine (2016–2021), as well as one of the council's vice-presidencies during his first five-year term.
