Eugène Frot (2 October 1893 – 10 April 1983) was a French politician who was Minister of Merchant Marine (twice), Minister of Labor and Social Assurance (twice) and Minister of the Interior in various short-lived cabinets between December 1932 and February 1934.
While he was Minister of Interior, right-wing groups organized street demonstrations in Paris on 6 February 1934 in which the police shot dead fourteen people.
In the aftermath the cabinet was forced to resign.
Frot supported Republican institutions, but by the late 1930s was a committed pacifist.
In July 1940 he voted for the constitutional change that established the collaborationist Vichy government.
As a result, he was barred from politics after the war.
