Gaston Palewski (20 March 1901 - 3 September 1984) was a French statesman. Between 1957 and 1962 he was ambassador to Italy and 1962 to 1965 Minister for Research and Technology under George Pompidou.

He had a long affair with Nancy Mitford of the Mitford sisters. The largely one-sided affair, which inspired the romance between Linda Kroesig and Fabrice de Sauveterre in Mitford's novel The Pursuit of Love, lasted fitfully until Palewski's affair with and eventual 1969 marriage to Violette de Talleyrand-Périgord, Duchess of Sagan (1915-2003), a beautiful socialite who was the former wife of Count James de Pourtalés and a granddaughter of American railroad magnate Jay Gould.
