Denis Chevrier (born 8 June 1954) is a retired Formula One engineer who was the head of engine operations for the Renault F1 team from 2002 to 2007.

Career Chevrier graduated with a degree in mechanical design and production. After joining the national engineering school in Metz, the Frenchman began his career as a motorcycle technician in classes up to 125 cm³ and 250 cm³.
