Achille René-Boisneuf

Achille René-Boisneuf (Le Gosier, 9 November 1873 - Pointe-à-Pitre 29 December 1927) was a French politician and one of the first black deputies in the French National Assembly. He is incorrectly given the name Émile instead of Achille in Jean Joly's Dictionnaire des parlementaires français de 1889 à 1940 1946.

He was born the son of Hyacinthe Boisneuf, a well-to-do freed slave, and a farm worker, Amanda Mathurine René. He was adopted by Boisneuf and his wife and put through school. René-Boisneuf was mayor of Pointe-à-Pitre in 1911–1922, president of the Conseil Général of Guadeloupe 1912–1922 and one of Guadeloupe's deputies in Paris 1914–1924.

The rue Achille René-Boisneuf in Pointe-à-Pitre is named after him.
