Fred Arthur Leuchter Jr. (born 1943) is an American manufacturer of execution equipment and a Holocaust denier, best known as the author of the Leuchter report, a pseudoscientific document alleging there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Before the document's publication, he had been contracted by authorities in several U.S. states to improve the designs of instruments for capital punishment. He was charged in Massachusetts with misrepresenting himself to penitentiaries as an engineer despite having no relevant qualifications, and after a plea bargain he received two years' probation.
