Suzanne Masson (10 July 1901 – 1 November 1943) was a union activist and communist, who was executed for her work in the French Resistance during World War II.

On 5 February 1942, she was discovered and fled to her house at 95, boulevard Macdonald in Paris where she was arrested by the police of the French Vichy government who were cooperating with German occupiers.

In June 1943 at Lauerhof prison, she was tried for possession of weapons, her calls for resistance against the German occupiers, and her clandestine connections with the French Communist Party.

She was given the opportunity to plea for mercy but she refused to do so, declaring in court that it was her duty as a French patriot and communist to fight for humanity.

Each year, the Center commemorates 8 May 1945, the "date of the victory of freedom against barbarism" and to "pay tribute to those who fought Nazism at the risk of their lives, such as Suzanne Masson.
