Sébastien Lecornu (French pronunciation: [sebastjɛ̃ ləkɔʁny]; born 11 June 1986) is a French politician who is serving as the Prime Minister of France since 9 September 2025. He was in the government as Minister of the Armed Forces from 2022 until 2025.[1]

In September 2025, Lecornu was appointed as Prime Minister by President Emmanuel Macron after the government of François Bayrou was brought down by a vote of no confidence,[2] but resigned after 26 days in office.[3] He was in office as a caretaker prime minister until he was reappointed by President Macron on 10 October 2025.[4][5]
