Pierre Frébault (born 27 October 1959) is a French Polynesian civil servant, politician, and former Cabinet Minister. He is a member of Tavini Huiraatira.

Frébault served as leader of the Confederation of Polynesian Workers' Unions (CSTP-FO) before entering politics.[1] In 2005 he served as Labour Minister in the government of Oscar Temaru,[2] and later in the government of Gaston Tong Sang.[3]

In the 2007 French legislative election he was a Tavini candidate for French Polynesia's 2nd constituency,[4] but lost to Bruno Sandras.[5] He stood again as a candidate in the 2012 French legislative election.[6][7]

He was elected to the Assembly of French Polynesia at the 2008 French Polynesian legislative election.[8] Following the election he was briefly appointed to the short-lived cabinet of Gaston Flosse, then returned to the Assembly after the Flosse government's collapse.[9] In February 2009 he was again appointed Minister of Labour and Employment in the coalition cabinet of Oscar Temaru.[10] When Temaru regained power in April 2011 he was appointed Minister for the Economy, Finance, Labor and Employment.[11] In September 2012 he was replaced as Finance Minister by Antony Géros, but retained his economy and labour portfolios.[12] He lost his seat in the Assembly in the 2013 election.[13]

In July 2017 he was appointed director of the Health and Social Regulation Agency (ARASS).[14][15] In March 2022 he was dismissed as director after losing the confidence of Health Minister Jacques Raynal.[16] He was subsequently appointed "interministerial delegate for local employment" by the Council of Ministers.[17]
