Artur London (1 February 1915 – 8 November 1986) was a Czechoslovak communist politician and co-defendant in the Slánský Trial in 1952. Though he was sentenced to life in prison, he was freed in 1955; he then settled in France with his wife Lise London.

In 1968 he published his memoirs in L'Aveu (The Confession), a book which resonated internationally, soon to be adapted by Costa-Gavras in the movie of the same name. He was born in Ostrava, Moravia, Austria-Hungary (now Czech Republic) to a Jewish family. London spent 1934 to 1937 in Moscow.
