Caroline Dessaulles-Béique (a.k.a. Madame F. L. Beique, 13 October 1852 – 8 August 1946) was a Canadian social activist and feminist. She was one of the founders of the Provincial Housewife's School (French: L'École Ménagère Provinciale), which later became the home economics department of the Université de Montréal, and an advocate who pressed for the founding of juvenile courts. She was a co-founder of the first national feminist organization, the National Federation of Saint John the Baptist (French: Fédération nationale Saint-Jean-Baptiste) for French-speaking Canadian women.
