Charles Perrault (París, Francia, 12 de enero de 1628 – ibídem, 16 de mayo de 1703) fue un escritor francés, principalmente reconocido por haber dado forma literaria a cuentos clásicos infantiles tales como Caperucita Roja y El gato con botas, atemperando en muchos casos la crudeza de las versiones orales.
