Hubert Perrodo (25 January 1944 - 29 December 2006) was a French businessman, polo player and art collector. He was the founder and sole owner of the oil group Perenco.
Hubert Perrodo was born on 25 January 1944 in Larmor-Baden in Morbihan to a family of fishermen.
He was the president of the independent oil group Perenco, which produced then more than 240,000 barrels (38,000 m3) of petrol per day.
His polo team, Labégorce, won the Queen's Cup, in 2004. On a journey to Château Giscours, in Margaux to play polo, he learned that Château Labégorce Zédé was for sale. He bought it in August 1989 and went on to become a large wine producer. In 2001, he repurchased the Castle of Abbot Gorsse de Gorsse, in February 2002 bought Labégorce-Zédé Castle, and in June 2006 he bought the Château Marquis d'Alesme Becker.
He was a prominent art collector, mostly focused on paintings.
He died on 29 December 2006, in a hiking accident, descending La Dent du Villard mountain trail near Courchevel.
