""Abstract of the Testament of John Meslier"" is a book written by Voltaire that presents the thoughts and beliefs of John Meslier, a French Catholic priest who lived in the 17th century.

The book provides a summary of Meslier's testament, including his criticism of the Catholic Church and his arguments against the existence of God. Voltaire, who was a prominent figure of the Enlightenment, uses Meslier's testament to argue for religious tolerance and freedom of thought.
