Olympe de Gouges, pseudônimo de Marie Gouze (Montauban, 7 de maio de 1748 – Paris, 3 de novembro de 1793) foi uma dramaturga, ativista política, feminista e abolicionista francesa de importante atuação na Revolução Francesa. Os escritos feministas de sua autoria alcançaram enorme audiência. Foi uma defensora da democracia e dos direitos das mulheres. Na sua obra Declaração dos Direitos da Mulher e da Cidadã (em francês: Déclaration des droits de la femme et de la citoyenne) de setembro de 1791, opôs-se ao patriarcado da época e ao modo pelo qual a relação entre homem e mulher se expressava na Declaração dos Direitos do Homem e do Cidadão, durante a Revolução Francesa. Devido aos seus escritos e atitudes pioneiras, foi guilhotinada.
