C.J. Faulkner was an American lawyer and plantation owner from Martinsburg, Virginia, who served as the ambassador to France under James Buchanan.
When Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1861, Faulkner was removed from his position and returned to Washington D.C. He was then arrested on a charge of negotiating arms sales for the Confederacy while in France.
