Maurice Faure (2 January 1922 – 6 March 2014) was a member of the French Resistance and a minister in several French governments.[1][2] He was born in Azerat, Dordogne.

He was a deputy in the French parliament from 1951 to 1983 and a Senator from 1983 to 1988, representing Lot and served 25 years as Mayor of Cahors.[1] Faure was appointed to the Constitutional Council of France by President François Mitterrand.[1]

As secretary to the French foreign minister, he co-signed the Treaty of Rome for France in 1957, thus helping to create the European Union.[3][4][5]

In 1957, Faure was awarded the Grand Decoration of Honour in Gold with Sash for Services to the Republic of Austria.[6]

Faure died in March 2014 at the age of 92 in Cahors, Lot.
