Jacques Roux (21 August 1752, Pranzac, Charente – 10 February 1794) was a radical Roman Catholic priest that took an active role in the revolutionary politics of Paris 1789, during the French Revolution. He skillfully expounded 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 became the leader of a popular far-left political faction known as the Enragés (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃.ʁa.ʒe], madmen), and in 1791 he was elected to the Paris Commune.
