André Boutemy (21 December 1905 – 14 July 1959) was a French lawyer, senior administrator and then politician. He served under the Vichy government during the occupation of France in World War II (1939–45), and as a result was barred from politics until 1950. In the immediate post-war period he distributed funds from industry to support right-wing politicians running for election. He was elected to the senate in 1952 and was briefly Minister of Health in 1953 before being forced to resign by the communist deputies.
