Jean Fabry (6 June 1876 – 1 June 1968) was a French politician. He served in the French Army during World War I, and he became an officer of the Legion of Honour for his service.[1] He served as a member of the Chamber of Deputies from 1919 to 1936, representing Seine.[2] He then served as a member of the French Senate from 1936 to 1945, representing Doubs.[1] He was also Minister of Colonies from 29 March to 14 June 1924, and the Minister of National Defence and War from 30 January to 4 February 1934, and from 7 June 1935 to 24 January 1936.[1] He became a grand officer of the Legion of Honour in 1939.[2]
On 10 July 1940, he voted in favour of granting the cabinet presided by Marshal Philippe Pétain authority to draw up a new constitution, thereby effectively ending the French Third Republic and establishing Vichy France. In January 1941, he was made a member of the National Council of Vichy France.
