Pierre Étienne Flandin (April 12, 1889 at Paris, France-June 13, 1958 at Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, France) was a French conservative politician of the Third Republic, leader of the Democratic Republican Alliance (ARD), and Prime Minister of France from November 8, 1934 to May 31, 1935.
He was the French Foreign Minister when Adolf Hitler reoccupied the Rhineland in 1936.
In December 1940, Vichy Chief of State Philippe Pétain appointed him as Head of government (Vice-President of the Council) in replacement of Pierre Laval. The German authorities, however, objected to his nomination and he was soon replaced by François Darlan.
