Julien Villeneuve, also known as Anarchopanda, () is a Canadian philosophy professor from the Collège de Maisonneuve known for dressing in a panda costume during the 2012 Quebec student protests, in which he hugged both students and police officers. His first appearance in the costume was at a protest on May 8, 2012. He stated that his aim in wearing the costume was to lower tensions and make protests safer for students. Villeneuve has a strong affinity for Plato, Aristotle and Plotinus, and identifies as an anarcho-pacifist.
