Raymond Patenôtre (July 31, 1900 – June 19, 1951) was the American-born son of the French ambassador to the United States Jules Patenotre des Noyers. He was a newspaper publisher and politician. Patenotre inherited his fortune from his mother: a Philadelphia-born heiress whose father, Col James Elverson, was the owner of the Philadelphia Inquirer which Patenotre later sold on behalf of his mother in a scheme to avoid paying taxes on the proceeds. He acquired La Sarthe, L’Écho républicain de l’Ouest, Le Régional de l’Ouest, Le Petit Var and Petit Niçois.
