{{Short description|French bridge player and writer}}
'''Roger Trézel''' (11 May 1918 – 3 November 1986)<ref name="rio">''[https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K8HR-44F Brasil, Cartões de Imigração, 1900-1965]''. Arquivo Nacional, Rio de Janeiro.</ref> was a French [[Contract bridge|bridge]] player and writer. He and his long-time regular partner [[Pierre Jaïs]] were the first two of ten players who have won the [[Triple Crown of Bridge]].<ref name=triple>{{OEB|7CD|251}}</ref> Their achievement was unique for more than twenty years<ref name=truscott86/> and they accomplished it on the earliest occasion possible. Having played on the France team that won the [[Bermuda Bowl#1956 Paris, France|1956 Bermuda Bowl]] representing Europe against <!--OEB says US but maybe North America?--> the United States, they won the inaugural renditions of both premier [[World Bridge Federation]] quadrennial events, the 1960 [[World Team Olympiad]] and the 1962 [[World Open Pairs Championship]].<ref name=triple/><ref name=truscott86/> Trézel and Jaïs also won the ''Sunday Times'' Invitational pairs tournament in 1963.
They used a [[canapé (bridge)|canapé system]], generally bidding the second-longest suit first, and their becoming one of the world's strongest pairs "demonstrated the effectiveness" of the style.<ref name=BOLS/> Their partnership was terminated only by Trézel's late 1986 death in France. [[Alan Truscott]] then called it "one of the greatest partnerships in the history of the game"<ref name=truscott86/> and two years later asserted that many European cognoscenti of 30 years earlier would have called them the "world's greatest partnership".<ref name=truscott88/>
