Publio Flavio Vegezio Renato (in latino: Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus; seconda metà IV secolo – V secolo dC) è stato un funzionario e scrittore romano. Appartenente al ceto più alto dell'aristocrazia tardoromana (detenne il rango di vir illustris), fu ricco possidente e, contro quello che si potrebbe pensare in quanto autore dell’Epitoma rei militaris, non fu un soldato di professione, anzi dovette essere certamente estraneo alla vita militare, anche perché nel suo trattato militare si astiene da riferimenti pratici alla vita del campo. Il nome Renatus e il fatto che riporti la formula del sacramentum militare (ovvero del giuramento su Dio, Gesù e lo Spirito) nell’Epitoma (II, 5), fanno pensare che sia stato cristiano.
