Jacques Cossette-Trudel (February 15, 1947 in Shawinigan, Quebec – March 14, 2023) was a Canadian who kidnapped British diplomat James Cross in the October Crisis of 1970 in Canada. Cossette-Trudel was a member of a cell of the Front de libération du Québec (FLQ) that kidnapped Cross in an attempt to start an uprising in Quebec, leading to its separation from Canada. Exchanged along with the rest of his cell in for a healthy Cross, he went into exile in Cuba and France. After his return, he was convicted of the offence of kidnapping and served time in prison. He has since worked as a communication counsellor and filmmaker in Quebec.
