François Ruffin (born 18 October 1975) is a French journalist, filmmaker, author and politician.
The founder and editor-in-chief of the satirical quarterly Fakir, he is best-known for directing the film Merci patron! (2016) as well as for playing an instrumental role in the formation of the Nuit debout movement in France. He has been a member of the National Assembly since 2017, representing Somme's first constituency.
Ahead of the 2017 legislative election, Ruffin created the regional political party Picardie Debout ("Arise Picardy") and ran as its sole candidate, with the initial support of La France Insoumise, Europe Ecology – The Greens and the French Communist Party in the first round, and that of the Socialist Party's candidate in the second round.
Once elected, he joined the parliamentary group of La France Insoumise, and is de facto associated with the political party.
