A Master Poisoner is a character who is an expert in the preparation and administering of poisons. They can tailor a toxin to any situation: to paralyse, to knock out, to kill, or even other, more exotic, effects that others would consider beyond the realms of conventional toxicology.
The whole point is to be able to poison practically any victim (or victims) while not appearing to be the least bit involved, should they be so inclined.
Normally a mundane variation of Poisonous Person, though the two can overlap if the character is crafty enough.

The Duke of Sto Helit, the main villain of Mort is known to be this, which is why his cousin the king doses himself with every antidote known to man. He's very surprised when the Duke hires a man to shoot him instead. (Although he gets some satisfaction from learning the Duke provided the assassin with a packed lunch.)

Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics): Patch, Antoine's Mirror Universe counterpart, was revealed to be this during the time he impersonated Antoine on Mobius Prime in a bid to take over the Kingdom of Acorn. To this end, he poisoned both King Max and Antoine's father using a toxin native to his own dimension, with Dr. Quack being unable to pinpoint the cause of their deteriorating health until after Patch was exposed. By that point, however, the damage is done; Max is left wheelchair-bound once again, and Armand, who was given much heavier doses thanks to Patch lacing his food with it, ends up dying in the hospital.

Ismae from Grave Mercy is trained to be a Master Poisoner because she is completely immune to all poisons; the most she might feel is a light tingling sensation, and only if the poison is exceptionally strong. It's one of the rarer perks of being a daughter of Mortain. Ironically, it turns out that she is also a cure for any and all poisons. Prolonged skin-on-skin contact will draw poison out of anyone afflicted.

Sucy of Little Witch Academia is supposedly a general potions specialist, but all we really see her do is make poisons. And she is very good at it; in the first film, one of her concoctions turned its victim into a pile of goo, which then melted through the solid stone floor!

Farran the Poisoner in the Redwall series. He never speaks, never shows any emotion (except at his death) and very nearly causes Salamandastron to fall to the enemy by sabotaging the food and water supply, killing two hares in the process. Lord Urthstripe takes an extremely dim view of such dishonourable tactics, and executes Farran by force-feeding him his entire remaining stock of poisons.

The Belgariad: First introduced as a reluctant antagonist, Sadi is shown to be exemplary even by Nyissan standards, especially after becoming a protagonist in The Malloreon. He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of, and incredible skill at, pharmacology, drug dealing, and anything related to potions and chemicals in general. He is creative, clever, and wily, able to weaponise almost any chemical concoction, favouring Poisoned Weapons, and is a rare fictional example of a truly badass eunuch. Garion's statement on his skill is Not Hyperbole, as Sadi eventually proves through some excellent people-watching skills and a poisoned spoon.

In Octopath Traveler II, we have Castti Florenz as the apothecary capable of inflicting poison via an axe attack, as well as making enemies vulnerable to poison. In her story, Trousseau uses his apothecary knowledge to become this to devastate a village with poison rain after crossing the Despair Event Horizon and becoming a Straw Nihilist as a result. His attack on the village was what also led up to Castti initially losing her memories at the start of her story.

Sasori. All his weapons are equipped with a very special poison he created himself which makes the victim suffer extreme pain for three days before dying if he decided not to finish the victim off in the first place.
He learned this, and his puppetry, from Chiyo. Chiyo's poisons during the 2nd ninja world war were often cured by Tsunade, whose own pupil Shizune is also a poison master.

Coco from Toriko not only able to create and secrete various poisons in his own body - he is also an expert in all kinds of poisons, which is suitable since his enemies often have immunity and he has to get crafty to kill them. Not only he can create poisons with various effects, from ones that paralyse targets to ones that make their flesh melt away, he also developed virus poison, which can adapt to immune systems of the target and strike down foes, who normally would be immune to it. He is so skilled, that he can poison even robots - by using gases, which turn into highly corrosive acid on certain metals. Surprisingly, he is the most nice person out of Four Kings.

Assassination Classroom:
Professional hitman Somg specializes in poisoning people. He is obsessed with a quality of his poisons and makes all of them himself, in his own laboratory. On top of regular poisons, he is able to create deadly artificial viruses and can tailor their effects for various situations - like a virus that makes a target appear seriously sick but becomes inactive after a few hours, leaving only minor damage. His talents work even beyond the poisons - for example, he creates highly effective nutrients.
Manami Okuda is a master poisoner in training; she's very good in science in general, and uses that talent in the class to make poisons to try and kill Koro-sensei. However, her delivery needs serious work: her introduction has her politely ask Koro-sensei to drink her poison. In the epilogue, she and Takebayashi use their scientific talents to develop universal artificial blood.

A Master Alchemist in Oblivion can produce a staggering variety of poisons with Status Effects beyond all those listed in the trope definition. Though poisons in-game aren't as instantly lethal, a full stack of damage-over-time effects make it a foregone conclusion. Replace one of those with fatigue-drainer, and you can safely look your opponent in the eye as it dies.

Discworld:
Lord Downey, head of the Assassins' Guild, is rumored to be this. There is no record of anyone Lord Downey may have wanted to inhume ever being poisoned, however. Which may just indicate that he's really good at it.
Lord Hong, the main villain from Interesting Times, is one as well. At one point, his poison causes a man to explode.
The Duke of Sto Helit, the main villain of Mort is known to be this, which is why his cousin the king doses himself with every antidote known to man. He's very surprised when the Duke hires a man to shoot him instead. (Although he gets some satisfaction from learning the Duke provided the assassin with a packed lunch.)
Vetinari is also rumored to have studied poisons at the Guild and be an expert on them (and according to the Assassins' Guild Diary he has the Guild degrees to indicate this) but like Downey, he has no confirmed poisoning victims. Not even when Moist von Lipwig thinks he does.

In World of Warcraft, one of the abilities of the Rogue class is applying poisons (usually to their own weapons). The Assassination talent tree partly focuses on this particular ability. One of the talents in the tree is literally called Master Poisoner.
Hunters, meanwhile, poison with certain abilities like Serpent Sting. They can also set a trap with venomous snakes.
Some bosses definitely qualify. Cataclysm has introduced Vanessa van Cleef, who administers literal Nightmare Fuel to all party at once, and renewed High Priest Venoxis, with extra ham.

Beast Tamer: A common tactic Rein uses is the contracting of poisonous creatures to subdue enemies. He has a thorough knowledge of which animals can do what, as he uses different poisonous beasts each time he uses this trick. Against Tania he used poisonous ravens he detected in the area, against the Jet-Black Fangs and Arios he used bees, and when rounding up corrupt guardsmen he incapacitated them by trapping them in an enclosed area into which he sent butterflies with paralyzing poison scales. In the last case Rein and company can watch from the area's upper floors because he's aware of the scales being heavier than air.

The 2nd Edition Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay bestiary contains numerous quotes from commentators, ranging from common yokels to more knowledgeable experts. One such "scholar" is Rikkit'tik, a Skaven assassin, and all he has to say about various monster entries is his preferred method of poisoning them. He recommends arsenic for his fellow Skaven, for example, and he's got enough expertise to have recommendations for undead including skeletons (though wraiths are out).

In Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance, Chapter 4's Netherworld, Poisondise, is a tropical vacation destination with completely toxic water. Hedler, the overlord of this Netherworld, is a Winged Warrior (the name of the moth class) who specializes in utilizing poison instead of brute strength, going as far as poisoning his entire Netherworld to defend it from invading armies. After defeating him and defending his Netherworld from the invading Lost Army, he joins your group. He still obsesses over poisons, going as far as to openly contemplate poisoning everyone's food for his amusement.

Vetinari is also rumored to have studied poisons at the Guild and be an expert on them (and according to the Assassins' Guild Diary he has the Guild degrees to indicate this) but like Downey, he has no confirmed poisoning victims. Not even when Moist von Lipwig thinks he does.

Batman:
This was Poison Ivy's original shtick before she became a Poisonous Person.
The Joker is a prodigy at this. In both the 1989 movie and the animated series, he develops "binary compounds" by which he can succeed in murdering victims with the second exposure, thus appearing not to have been directly responsible for their deaths. The man's chemistry skill is such that he can create incredibly toxic compounds out of nothing but the contents of a janitor's closet.
The Scarecrow concocts fear toxins to give targets nightmarish hallucinations.
Professor Milo's expertise in chemistry has allowed him to develop toxins for a wide range of effects. These have included a dust that caused Batman to develop a fear of bats and a gas that drove him into a suicidal depression.
Ra's al Ghul's League of Assassins generally keeps a few in its employ, most commonly Cheshire, who keeps her weapons drenched in poisons. Other poisoners associated with the League include "Viper", a non-combatant whose entire job revolved around creating new poisons and whose concoctions once nearly killed Ben Turner before he came up with the code-name Bronze Tiger.
Poison is listed as one of Red Hood's specialties, and he is able to showcase this in Batman (Grant Morrison) when he secretly poisons a prison cafeteria, killing 82 and leaving others severely ill.
Red Robin: Funnel of the Council of Spiders takes pride in creating quick-acting, incredibly painful poisons and is insulted by other poison-using murderers whose poisons don't fit what she thinks a perfect poison should be or are "boring".

Livia, and later Agrippina, from I, Claudius. Livia's simple "Don't touch the figs" will send chills up your spine. One scene has Livia talking shop with Martina, another Master Poisoner. The two debate the relative merits of different poisons and their antidotes over dinner, only for Martina to go white with fear at the sudden thought that Livia might have poisoned her. Livia laughs it off, but the viewer expects Martina to drop dead at any moment, and her ultimate fate is left unspecified.

They avert some tropes like Universal Poison, noting that they need to carefully calculate the substance and dosage to suit the target (and might even be able to work on spirits), and hide it in strong drinks because there is no Perfect Poison... but still achieve Instant Sedation, because they're just that good.

The Caesars: When Tiberius accuses Livia of ordering Germanicus' poisoning by Piso and Plancina in "Tiberius", she happily admits that she has "had a good many people put to death one way or another in the past sixty years". However, in contrast to I, Claudius, we never actually see her poison anyone. Likewise subverted with Piso and his wife, who are likely innocent of the charges of poison against them, and quite possibly with Sejanus and Livilla as well—in all cases, we never are actually shown the poisoning, leaving it ambiguous whether the "victim" was murdered or not.

Assassin of Red, a.k.a. Semiramis, of Fate/Apocrypha. Her Noble Phantasm, Sikera UÅ¡um: Arrogant King's Alcohol, allows her to create a plethora of terrifyingly deadly poisons while inside her fortress. This includes being able to give her magecraft or even the air itself poison attribute, have her poison be composed of such things as Hydra venom, and even summon poisonous beasts such as the Basmu from Mesopotamian mythology. This is actually why she's summoned as an Assassin and not a Caster. Despite having the powers and skill set for the mage class, her legend of being the first poisoner is more famous, so she is placed in the class of elusive killers.

The Elder Scrolls:
In the series' lore, the Kota-Vimleel tribe of Argonians are esteemed alchemists known for creating the most deadly poisons in all of Tamriel.
King Hlaalu Helseth of Morrowind is reputed to be one of the greatest and most subtle poisoners in the world. The in-game book A Game at Dinner and rumors regarding the death of his predecessor as King support this reputation, as well as speak for his subtlety.
A Master Alchemist in Oblivion can produce a staggering variety of poisons with Status Effects beyond all those listed in the trope definition. Though poisons in-game aren't as instantly lethal, a full stack of damage-over-time effects make it a foregone conclusion. Replace one of those with fatigue-drainer, and you can safely look your opponent in the eye as it dies.
From Oblivion onwards, poisoning is a subset of the Alchemy skill. In Skyrim, the master trainer of Alchemy is a young vampire and a Dark Brotherhood assassin who is this trope. You also can become this, and the Brotherhood offers you a unique poison ingredient for the assassination of Emperor Titus Mede II (however, it's strong enough to take half HP from the Ebony Warrior).
Leveling up your pickpocketing skill in Skyrim and selecting the appropriate perks also allows you to poison opponents by putting vials in their inventory without them realizing it until they drop dead.

A Song of Ice and Fire has several examples.
Maesters of the Citadel, when fully trained, are healers by profession. But, there is a flip side to that coin: a few indulge in this trope when asked to, when they deem it appropriate to meet their obligations or when euthanasia is required.
The Faceless Men are professionally trained assassins who naturally use a wide range of drugs, toxins, and poisons as a part of their arsenal, many with possibly magical ingredients. They specialize in Make It Look Like an Accident-type assassinations.
Oberyn Martell is well known to use complex poisons: it even helps supply his moniker of "The Red Viper"... and Tyene, one of his bastard daughters collectively called the Sand Snakes, takes after Daddy, as well. When she briefly touches her uncle's hand after an argument, Prince Doran's maester hurries over to inspect his hand for puncture marks and expresses concern over poisons that can be absorbed through the skin.
A surprising number of the plots Littlefinger has had a direct influence on have involved poison in some capacity at some point. There's a reason for that: he supplies it to proxies to use. Or, encourages the use in other ways. For a lord, he knows more on the topic than the average, even if he may not be in the same league biochemically as some on this list — what he is, however, is a master at getting away with it completely unsuspected.
The Crannogmen of the Neck are infamous throughout Westeros for using poisoned weapons and guerrilla tactics during warfare, which are both considered unmanly by Westerosi culture at large. They specialise in dealing out theatrically Cruel and Unusual Death, both as a warning and deterrent to others watching the death. However, since those toxic attacks of theirs often resemble a mixed tape of known, very nasty illnesses cranked all the way up and on speed, other options aren't off the table when they might feel like downplaying things.

Best Served Cold has Morveer, a master poisoner for hire. He's very paranoid, noting that poisoners tend to die from their own wares. In one scene, he decides to make amends with his co-conspirators by cooking them a fine meal. Everyone refuses to even touch the feast made by the master poisoner, causing him to take offense.

Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness: Scorpion was once the Valley of Peace's best healer, skilled with the expertise of using medical herbs and experimental flowers that grew in the Valley's rich soil as cures for various sicknesses, such as the use of sun orchards as the cure for river-fever. One day, she stumbled upon a hypnosis potion and injected herself with it, poisoning her body and mind. She uses her expertise with herbs to become the mistress of poisons and mind-control drugs.

Two of the antagonists in The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness — Tenris and Seshru — are shown to be prehistoric versions of this trope. The former uses his knowledge to create a terrible sickness that drives the victims insane before killing them, spreading it across the Forest as a plague through poisoned juniper berries. The latter shows more subtlety by sedating a polar bear to make it easier to capture and poisoning crowberries Torak eats. Said berries render him unconscious and when he wakes up, his limbs are paralyzed and he can do nothing but argue with Seshru.

Game of Thrones:
Littlefinger turns out to be one. Not only does he work with Olenna Tyrell to have King Joffrey poisoned during a lavish banquet, it's later revealed that he had Lysa Arryn poison her husband Jon Arryn, kicking off the War of Five Kings storyline.
"The Children" reveals Oberyn poisoned his spear with manticore venom.
One of Oberyn's bastard daughters, Tyene Sand, is knowledgeable about poisons just like daddy. She poisoned Bronn with her daggers during their fight in the Water Gardens and later, gave him the antidote for it while in prison. In "Mother's Mercy", she is also the one who gave Ellaria the poison to kill Myrcella Baratheon when she left for King's Landing.

Necromunda: The 3rd Edition background material mentions that the alchemical skill of House Escher has led them to become masters of developing poisons and toxins. From bespoke venom designed to kill a specific enemy to psychotropic gases and toxins that can liquefy flesh, the chemists of House Escher produce a wide variety of exotic substances for their gangs to utilise. This is represented in the rules by the Escher having access to a number of weapons with the Toxin ability from creation.

The Reynard Cycle:
Reynard himself is the best example from the series, though he uses poison exclusively to knock people unconscious.
Ghul, Chanticleer's primary assassin, is able to poison the entire crew of a ship for weeks without anyone knowing. He doesn't realize that Reynard swapped out his poison for seasoning until it's too late.
Baron Dendra studied abroad to become one of these. When Persephone is poisoned, his fellow conspirators assume it was his work.
Barsine, one of Chanticleer's assassins, is this. She is apparently persuasive enough to get her victims to drink mysterious liquids knowingly.

Warhammer 40,000: The Venenum Temple of Assassins. Unlike the operatives of some of the more overt Temples, Venenum Assassins work behind the scenes, poisoning high-priority targets before the battles can begin, with good training in stealth and such a devastating array of poisons they can kill anything, even daemons, with the right toxin. One piece of Flavor Text details the successful assassination of all thousand members of an anti-Imperial planetary government by the Venenum Assassin Urua Thereaux who spent three days poisoning the chairs of their council chamber.

In The Count of Monte Cristo, the poisoner Madame de Villefort is frequently compared to Locusta. She's an aversion to the trope, though; she doesn't prepare her own poisons, misusing medications acquired elsewhere, and she's very prosaic and repetitive about how she administers the poisons. It's in what people are drinking, every time.

She also uses her nursing skills to judge how much poison will kill and how much will just make someone sick. She is able to judge the dose of the sedative she gave to Margot Bamborough just finely enough that Margot is incapacitated on the way to the pub, rather than before or after, something that is key to Janice's spur-of-the-moment plot to murder her.

Murder for the Modern Girl: Ruby Newhouse's main method of killing is through poison. She has a wide variety of poisons and learned how to make them from common chemicals and plants. Her poisonings are diligent enough that the people she killed had their deaths recorded as suicide, accidents, or disease, letting her get away with murder. She is also able to put her poisons in needles and jewelry to use as weapons.

Megumi Takani of Rurouni Kenshin could be considered this in her Dark and Troubled Past. She worked as the assistant of a doctor who doubled as a drug dealer under the thumb of Corrupt Corporate Executive Kanryu Takeda, and she ended up being forced to produce opium after said doctor was murdered. She knows all about different poisons but now cures them (among other roles befitting The Medic).

The Nevernight Chronicle: Mia's specialty as an assassin. Her skillset extends to the ability to diagnose poisons administered to her or those around her, as well as to cures or medicinal alternatives.
Spiderkiller who trained Mia. She even leaves Mia a present for conquering the Red Church - ultimately gifted to Ashlinn - and then callously ensures that the various options for the antidote are all empty.

Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Search: None other than Prince Zuko's mother, Ursa, is revealed to be this. She knew how to make an odorless, colorless, lethal poison that was next to impossible to detect. She ended up offering a deal to Ozai; she would concoct the poison and give it to him to do as he pleased (the idea being he'd poison his father and then take the throne) and Zuko (who was going to be executed as a punishment to Ozai) would be spared. Ozai accepts.

Choza in Itsuwaribito, which is why his poisoned claws are his weapon of choice, he knows exactly which of his poisons will kill his opponent or simply knock them out and how much of it is needed to achieve the desired effect on that person.

Centauri in Babylon 5, in the past, regularly used poisons in their power games among the nobles. The practice apparently holds as of the time of the show, as Londo relies on a practitioner of the art for a poison to kill Emperor Cartagia and casually slips a terrifying poison to one of his political rivals in "Ceremonies of Light and Dark" (merely to pressure him: the first component is harmless until it's combined with a second).

Alfyn Greengrass from Octopath Traveler is primarily a healer who just wants to help people, but is certainly capable of using his knowledge as an apothecary to inflict harm when needed. One of his class skills, Empoison, always succeeds if the target is vulnerable to poison—and the vast majority of enemies, including most chapter bosses and several of the setting's gods, are. He can also mix items to Concoct harmful powders that have a chance of inflicting various Status Effects, including poison, to the whole enemy team. In-story, he carries a plant called slumberthorn whose toxin not only pulls the victim into a deep sleep but plagues the victim with horrifying nightmares if they have any evil deeds weighing on their conscience. He uses this to subdue and partially reform the Chapter 2 boss after their battle.
In Octopath Traveler II, we have Castti Florenz as the apothecary capable of inflicting poison via an axe attack, as well as making enemies vulnerable to poison. In her story, Trousseau uses his apothecary knowledge to become this to devastate a village with poison rain after crossing the Despair Event Horizon and becoming a Straw Nihilist as a result. His attack on the village was what also led up to Castti initially losing her memories at the start of her story.

In Rath and Storm, Starke "has some familiarity" with drugs and poisons, and sabotages Vuel's rite of passage by lacing his war paint with bitterleaf and thoughtsease.

Captain America: The Red Skull has this as part of his spy/assassin tradecraft. His Calling Card is the "dust of death" poison, which kills the victim within seconds and causes their face to shrivel, their hair to fall out and their skin to turn red, thus making them resemble a red skull. He's been shown to use various other substances over the years, always to good effect.
