Bruno Le Maire (born 15 April 1969) is a French politician. He served as the French Minister of Food, Agriculture and Fishing from 2009 to 2012.

Bruno Le Maire was born on 15 April 1969 in Neuilly-sur-Seine. He is a graduate of the École Normale Supérieure, Sciences Po and the École nationale d’administration. He speaks French, English and German.

From 2002 to 2004, he worked as an advisor to Dominique de Villepin in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In 2004, he moved to the Ministry of the Interior.

From December 2008 to 2009, he served as Secretary of State in charge of European Affairs in the François Fillon government.

Since 2008, he has served as a political advisor for the Union for a Popular Movement. He also serves as a council member of Evreux.
