Robert-François Damiens (9 January 1715 – 28 March 1757) was a French domestic servant who attempted to assassinate Louis XV of France in 1757.

Damiens stabbed Louis with a knife, but the King survived. Damiens was immediately arrested and underwent brutal torture before being violently executed.

His supposed accomplice, Auguste Tavernier, was eventually imprisoned in the Bastille.
