Derek Michael Chauvin (born 1976) is an American former police officer who was convicted for the 2020 murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

On May 25, 2020, Floyd was arrested after a store clerk alleged that he made a purchase using a counterfeit $20 bill. In the course of the arrest, Chauvin knelt on Floyd's neck for about nine minutes while Floyd was handcuffed and lying face down on the street and calling out "I can't breathe". The murder set off a series of protests in Minneapolis, across the United States, and around the world, in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Where to start: The Fall of Minneapolis (2023).
