Michel Seydoux (French: [sɛdu]; born 11 September 1947) is a French businessman and film producer. He is also the former president and chairman of French professional football club Lille OSC.

In 1975-1976, Seydoux worked with director Alejandro Jodorowsky on a film adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune. The movie was never made due to lack of financing; the story of the project is told in Jodorowsky's Dune, which prominently features Seydoux.[1]

In 1997 he was a member of the jury at the 20th Moscow International Film Festival.[2]
