Georges Monnet (12 August 1898, Aurillac, Cantal – 9 December 1980) was a prominent socialist politician in 1930s France and a member of Paul Reynaud's war cabinet as Minister of Blockade.

After fighting in the First World War, Monnet became head of a large farm in Picardy before moving on to politics and joining the Socialist Party in 1928.

He modernized the socialist doctrine by focusing it towards the goal of practical and immediate reforms to help small and medium-scale farms.

[1] He opposed the Munich Agreement in 1938 and ran a newspaper about Action for peace and socialism, which proposed a firm line against Hitler, although it was largely ignored by other prominent pro-appeasement socialists, such as Georges Bonnet.

[3] A few years later, he returned to France and became president of the National Agricultural Exhibition and Competition (CENECA).
