Lucie Simplice Camille Benoît Desmoulins (2 March 1760 – 5 April 1794) was a radical journalist and politician who played a prominent role in the French Revolution. He was a close childhood friend of Maximilien de Robespierre and a devoted ally of Georges Danton, both of whom were greatly influential figures amidst the chaotic period of the revolution. Desmoulins was executed alongside Georges Danton, Marie Jean Herault, and most of the other names on Danton's letters on 5 April 1794.
