Suzanne Césaire (born Suzanne Roussi, 11 August 1915, Martinique – 16 May 1966) was a theorist affiliated with the négritude movement and with surrealism. She was one of the first theorists to emphasise the potential of the multi-ethnic and multi-natural composition of the Caribbean and called for an experimental cultural appropriation rather than a return to essences or assimilation.
