Émile Laurens was a French politician born on 29 January 1884 in Réquista (Aveyron) and died on 16 June 1940 in Blois (Loir-et-Cher). He was recognized as having died for France.

He replaced the former and future Prime Minister Camille Chautemps[1] as the Radical deputy for Loir-et-Cher after a a 1935 by-election where he narrowly beat the militant agrarian leader Henry Dorgères in the second round of voting[2] He served as Under-Secretary of State to the Prime Minister's Office from 18 January 1938 to 13 March 1938 in the Fourth Chautemps Government.[3]

In February 1940, Maurice Olivier, then mayor of Blois, resigned due to health reasons, and Émile Laurens was appointed as his replacement[4].

On 16 June 1940 He was fatally wounded during Battle of France when the German army bombarded the Town Hall in the Foix district in Blois, where he resided with his family[5].

A street name in the center of Blois commemorates Laurens today, located west of Place de la Résistance.
