Isidore Isou (French: [izu]; 29 January 1925 – 28 July 2007), born Isidor Goldstein,[1] was a Romanian-born French poet, dramaturge, novelist, film director, economist, and visual artist[2] who lived in the 20th century. He was the founder of Lettrism, an art and literary movement which owed inspiration to Dada and Surrealism.

An important figure in the mid-20th Century avant-garde, he is remembered in the cinema world chiefly for his revolutionary 1951 film Traité de Bave et d'Eternité,[3] while his political writings are seen as foreshadowing the May 1968 movements.
