Bartemius "Barty" Crouch Junior (c. 1962 - 1995) was a pure-blood or half-blood wizard and the son of Bartemius Crouch Senior. He joined Lord Voldemort to become a Death Eater in his teens. He was the first known escapee of Azkaban prison in its almost 300 year history.

In 1981, shortly after Voldemort's first defeat, Crouch allegedly participated in the capture and torture of Frank and Alice Longbottom along with the Lestranges, using the Cruciatus Curse to drive the two Aurors to insanity. Crouch and his comrades were sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban for their crimes by his own father.
