Gabriel Nissim Attal de Couriss (French pronunciation: [ɡabʁijɛl atal]; born 16 March 1989) is a French politician serving as the Prime Minister of France since January 2024.

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, Attal was appointed by the French President, Emmanuel Macron, to replace Élisabeth Borne as Prime Minister of France. At the age of 34, he became the youngest person and the first openly gay person to serve as a G7 head of government as well as the ninth openly LGBT person and the youngest person currently serving as a head of state or government in the world.

Attal has become one of the most popular politicians in France and the French media have speculated that he is a potential contender in 2027 French presidential election as a successor to Macron.
