Georges Frêche (July 9, 1938 – October 24, 2010) was a French politician.
He served as President of the Languedoc-Roussillon Region from 2004 until his death: prior to that, he had been mayor of Montpellier for 27 years, and was also a former member (député) of the National Assembly.
Frêche had been a member of the French Socialist Party until he was expelled on January 27, 2007. A long-time political figure within French political circles, Frêche was an extremely controversial character, considered by some a great builder and visionary, while criticised by others and judged in court for his controversial remarks, which were sometimes interpreted as racist.
