{{short description|12th month of the French Republican calendar, from mid-August to mid-September}}
{{no footnotes|date=January 2012}}
'''Fructidor''' ({{IPA|fr|fʁyktidɔʁ}}) is the twelfth [[month]] in the [[French Republican Calendar]]. The month was named after the [[Latin]] word ''fructus'' 'fruit'.

Fructidor is the third month of the summer quarter (''mois d'été''). By the [[Gregorian calendar]], Fructidor starts on either August 18 or August 19 and ends exactly thirty days later, on September 16 or September 17. Fructidor follows the month of [[Thermidor]] and precedes the [[Sansculottides]]. 

The month is often used as a shorthand term for the [[Coup of 18 Fructidor]].

== Day name table ==

Like all French Republican months, Fructidor lasted thirty days and was divided into three weeks called decades (''décades'') which each lasted ten days. Within every decade, each day had the name of an agricultural plant, except the fifth - the ''Quintidi'' - which had the name of an [[animal]], and the tenth - the ''Decadi'' - which had the name of an agricultural tool.
