Toussaint (c. 1890 – after 1934) was the chief of a leper colony in South America, known for his appearance in the novel Papillon.
In 1934, Charrière, with his fellow prisoners Clusiot and Maturette, escaped from the penal colony.
During their escape, they went to Toussaint's leper colony to obtain money and a boat.
Toussaint was a Frenchman, and is believed to have himself served time at Devil's Island.
He was portrayed by Anthony Zerbe under heavy makeup in the film Papillon (1973).
