Renaud de Vilbac, (3 June 1829 – 19 March 1884) was a 19th-century French organist and composer.
Vilbac entered the Conservatoire de Paris at age 13 in order to study the pipe organ with François Benoist and musical composition with Halévy. Two years later, he won the second First prize of Rome with his cantata Le Renégat de Tanger, on a text by Claude-Emmanuel de Pastoret, in 1844.
Returning to Paris after his stay at the Villa Medici in Rome, Vilbac became the holder of the great organ Merklin-Schütz of the église Saint-Eugène-Sainte-Cécile in 1855.
