Laurent Fabius (French: [lɔ.ʁɑ̃ fa.bjys]; born 20 August 1946) is a French Socialist politician who served as Prime Minister of France from 17 July 1984 to 20 March 1986.

Fabius was 37 years old when he was appointed and is, so far, the youngest prime minister of the Fifth Republic. Later, Fabius was President of the National Assembly from 1988 to 1992, and again from 1997 to 2000. Fabius served in the government as Minister of Finance from 2000 to 2002, and Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2012 to 2016.

Fabius was born in the wealthy 16th arrondissement of Paris, the son of Louise (born Strasburger-Mortimer; 1911–2010) and André Fabius (1908–1984). Fabius parents were from Ashkenazi Jewish families, and converted to Catholicism. Fabius was raised a Catholic. He has three sons, David (1978) with his partner Ch d'Izarny Gargas {source: birth certificate extract} , Thomas (1981) and Victor (1983) with his spouse Francoise Castro.

Fabius's secondary education was at the Lycée Janson de Sailly and Lycée Louis-le-Grand. Fabius was a graduate of institutions that are training grounds for academics (École normale supérieure), and senior civil servants and executives (Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris, École nationale d'administration).
