Paul-Marie Pons (Born 24 June 1904 Longwy: died 24 October 1966 Paris) was a French naval engineer who became a senior civil servant.
He is remembered for the Pons Plan which restructured the French auto-industry in the second half of the 1940s.
Pons was educated at the prestigious École Polytechnique at Palaiseau on the southern fringes of Paris.
After this he pursued a successful career in engineering and management.
In 1927 he married Michèlle Duchez: the marriage was childless.
After the Second World War Pons was appointed to the Ministry of Industrial Production under the direction of the minister, Robert Lacoste.
Robert Lacoste had himself been a senior civil servant before the war and had been a member of the French Resistance during the war, after which he re-emerged as a Socialist Deputy and a leading national politician.
