L'Émeute (English: The Riot) was an anarchist newspaper published in Lyon between December 1883 and January 1884. It succeeded Le Drapeau noir, which had been banned a week earlier, and preceded Le Défi.
During a period when Lyon was a major hub for the anarchist movement, they began establishing press outlets that followed one after another in response to frequent bans and significant repression. Following the prohibition of their previous organ, Le Drapeau noir, they founded a new journal titled L'Émeute; it managed to remain in print for about a month before being banned in its turn.
It belongs to the first period of the Lyon anarchist press, featuring a series of closely related newspapers that succeeded one another in the face of government bans, including Le Droit social, L'Étendard révolutionnaire, La Lutte, Le Drapeau noir, L'Émeute, Le Défi, L'Hydre anarchiste, L'Alarme, and Le Droit anarchique.
