Melchior Renner (1770–1821) was a German missionary who served in Sierra Leone. Renner and Peter Hartwig, both German Lutherans, were the first CMS missionaries in Africa, recruited to a mission in Freetown, Sierra Leone in 1804. In 1808, Renner founded a station among the Susu people, attempted to learn the Susu language, and worked with his wife Elizabeth to run schools on the Rio Pongas in Sierra Leone. Elizabeth and Melchior were an interracial marriage in a mission adjacent to an area with active slave trading. Renner died at the age of 41 after 11 years serving the CMS.
