Zamor (christened Louis-Benoit) (1762 - February 7, 1820) was a French revolutionary of possibly Siddi origin from Bengal, who, as a boy of eleven, was taken from Chittagong, Bengal Subah, Mughal Empire (now Bangladesh) by slave traders. Later he was enslaved by Countess du Barry and became her servant until informing on her to the Committee of Public Safety. He participated in the French Revolution and was imprisoned by the Girondins.
