Gabriel Nissim Attal de Couriss (French: [ɡabʁijɛl atal] ^ⓘ; born 16 March 1989) is a French politician who served as Prime Minister of France from January to September 2024. As a member of the Renaissance party, Attal rapidly rose up the political ranks following his election to the National Assembly in June 2017. He became the Junior Minister to the Minister of National Education and Youth in 2018, which made him the youngest person to serve in the Government of France; the Spokesperson of the Government in 2020; the Minister of Public Action and Accounts in 2022; and the Minister of National Education and Youth in 2023.

On 9 January 2024, amid a major government crisis, he was appointed by the French President, Emmanuel Macron, to replace Élisabeth Borne as prime minister. At the age of 34, he became the youngest person and the first openly gay person to serve as French prime minister.

In June 2024, Macron dissolved the National Assembly and called a snap election following the defeat suffered by his political alliance in the 2024 European Parliament election. Attal led the ruling Ensemble coalition into the 2024 legislative election which resulted in another hung parliament and electoral defeat for the government. On 7 July 2024, shortly after exit polls were released, he announced that he would offer his resignation as Prime Minister. Macron accepted Attal's resignation on 16 July 2024 on the understanding he would remain as head of a caretaker government until a new government was formed. On 5 September 2024, Michel Barnier succeeded him as Prime Minister.
