Edmond Michelet (Paris, 8 October 1899 – 9 October 1970 in Brive) was a French politician. On 17 June 1940, he distributed tracts calling to continue the war in all Brive-la-Gaillarde's mailboxes. It is considered to be the first act of resistance of World War II in France, one day before Charles de Gaulle's Appeal of 18 June. He was made minister of the Army by Charles de Gaulle in 1946. He served as Minister of Justice from 1959 to 1961. Michelet was the main collaborator of Abraham Vereide, the leader of the Family fundamentalist organisation, based in the United States.
