Pierre François Lacenaire (born 1800 in Lyon; died 1836) was a famous French poet and murderer.

He is portrayed in the epic Les Enfants du Paradis (Children of Paradise), a film by Marcel Carné. There is also a Hollywood film called Lacenaire, all about him.

Dostoevsky read somewhere about Lacenaire's case and it inspired him to write Crime and Punishment, in which Raskolnikov's crime was a copy of Lacenaire's almost down to the last detail.
