Simonne Evrard (February 6, 1764 - February 24, 1824) funded the activities of Jean-Paul Marat and the publication of the radical newspaper L'Ami du peuple during the French Revolution. By providing funds and gifting the newspaper a printing press Evard's support allowed the paper to continue being printed without fear of government reprisal. Though probably not legally married, Evrard and Marat considered themselves married and Evrard styled herself as the widow of Marat after his assassination.
