'''Messidor''' ({{IPA|fr|mesidɔʁ}}) was the tenth [[month]] in the [[French Republican Calendar]]. The month was named after the [[Latin]] word {{lang|la|messis}} 'harvest'.

Messidor was the first month of the summer quarter ({{lang|fr|mois d'été}}). It started on 19 or 20 June. It ended on 18 or 19 July. It follows [[Prairial]] and precedes [[Thermidor]].

== Day name table ==
Like all FRC months Messidor lasted 30 days and was divided into three 10-day weeks called ''décades'' (decades). Every day had the name of an agricultural plant, except the 5th (Quintidi) and 10th day (Decadi) of every decade, which had the name of a domestic animal (Quintidi) or an agricultural tool (Decadi).
