Claude Poirier (born October 26, 1938, in Montreal, Quebec) is a negotiator and crime reporter for the Quebec-based Canadian French-language television network TVA.

He covered the widely publicized biker gang war that broke out in Quebec during the 1990s as well as trials in notorious murder or crime cases such as the trial of several biker gang members arrested during a province-wide police operation called "Printemps 2001" which significantly reduced their criminal activities around the province.

Poirier still comments on recent crime cases or cold ones on the TVA Nouvelles broadcast at 5:00 p.m. EDT on weekdays and during the LCN morning show.

Poirier also played an important role in the production of the television series "Le Negociateur" which aired in 2005.

The series features well-known figures in Quebec culture such as Elvis Gratton star actor Julien Poulin, Frederick de Grandpré, Pierre Curzi, Les Boys actors Serge Thériault and Roc Lafortune, 2004 Star Académie winner Stephanie Lapointe and Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge.
