Marie-Anne Charlotte de Corday d'Armont, known as Charlotte Corday, was a figure of the French Revolution.

Marat had played a substantial role in the political purge of the Girondins, with whom Corday sympathized. His murder was depicted in the painting The Death of Marat by Jacques-Louis David, which shows Marat's dead body after Corday had stabbed him in his medicinal bath.
