'Roger Holeindre' (Corrano, Corsica, March 21, 1929) is a French politician, vice-president of the National Front (FN) far-right party.
A volunteer for the Indochina War and then the Algerian War, he joined the Organisation armée secrète (OAS), a right-wing terrorist movement opposed to the 1962 Evian Accords which granted independence to Algeria. After being given a prison sentence for his involvement with the OAS, he worked as a reporter for ''Paris-Match'', while in the same time counselling young ''Occident'' far-right activists.
Roger Holeindre then became member of the political bureau of the National Front, along with Jean-Marie Le Pen. He was deputy of the Seine Saint Denis region in 1986-88, and then became vice-president of the party. He also presides the ''Cercle national des combattants'' (National veterant circle), a veteran association close to the FN. He supported Le Pen against Bruno Mégret's attempt to seize control of the FN, and claims to follow Jean-Pierre Stirbois's nationalist and solidarist current.
