Antoine Quentin Fouquier de Tinville (1746 – 7 May 1795) was a French jurist active during the French Revolution and, after 1793, public prosecutor for the newly-founded French Republic. As prosecutor, his tenure was marked by the trial and execution of the deposed king, Louis XVI, and Maximilien de Robespierre's Reign of Terror.

It was Fouquire-Tinville's duty to arrest, prosecute and condemn enemies of the state. One such target was the Marquis de Sade; however, de Sade was spared after the Assassin Arno Dorian managed to steal the orders for his arrest from Fouquire-Tinville's desk in the Grand Châtelet.

After Robespierre fell from power, Fouquire-Tinville was relieved of his duties and put on trial for his actions. He was guillotined on 7 May, 1795.
