A '''subpoena instanter''' is a [[subpoena]] that requires immediate compliance, i.e., instantly (without delay). It is primarily used in the civil law jurisdiction of [[Louisiana]], while the term is generally not used in [[common law]] jurisdictions other than [[Texas]].

Administrative agencies will sometimes use an subpoena instanter to demand immediate compliance, but the [[Fourth Amendment]] typically guarantees a right to challenge such subpoenas in a court of law before being compelled to comply.
