Jacques Roux (21 August 1752 – 10 February 1794) is a radical Roman Catholic priest who takes an active role in the revolutionary politics of Paris 1789, during the French Revolution.

He skillfully expounds the ideals of popular democracy and classless society to crowds of Parisian sans-culottes, working class wage earners and shopkeepers, radicalizing them into a dangerous revolutionary force.

He becomes a leader of a popular far-left political faction known as the Enragés ("madmen"), and in 1791 he is elected to the Paris Commune.
