L'Ami du peuple was a newspaper written and published by Jean-Paul Marat during the French Revolution. Described by historian Jeremy D. Popkin as "the most celebrated radical paper of the Revolution", it advocated popular sovereignty and the interests of the lower classes. Marat used the newspaper to denounce political figures and institutions whom he regarded as enemies of the Revolution, frequently identifying individuals by name and sometimes by occupation and address, and at times calling for popular violence.
