Didier Codorniou (born 13 February 1958 in Narbonne)[1] is a former French rugby union player and a French politician. He played as a Centre.

Codorniou played for RC Narbonne and Stade Toulousain. He earned his first national cap on 7 July 1979 against the All Blacks, in the first victory France had achieved over the New Zealand team in New Zealand.

In Path to Victory former Australian flyhalf Mark Ella wrote of Codorniou that, "After playing against Didier Codorniou, I thought he was the best centre in the world. He directed all the backline traffic. He had the ball skills to set the play up or be an electrifying individualist."
