Jules Joseph, Baron d'Anethan (French pronunciation:[ʒylʒozɛfbaʁɔ̃dantɑ̃]; 23 April 1803 – 8 October 1888) was aBelgianCatholic Party politician.
After serving as minister for Justice and Religion, D'Anethan was named theprime minister of Belgium and minister of Foreign Affairs by KingLeopold II on 2 July 1870. During his term in office, d'Anethan was responsible for directing theBelgian reaction to the Franco-Prussian War.
D'Anethan and the king agreed a programme whereby the King's favoured military reforms—in particular the abolition ofRemplacement conscription—would be implemented, along with an agreement not to institute electoral reforms. He served as Foreign and War minister in his own government.
D'Anethan was obliged to include in his cabinet ministers who were opposed to the abolition ofRemplacement which led to conflicts with the King. A political crisis following his nomination ofPierre de Decker as governor ofLimburg led to the resignation of d'Anethan's government.
He later served, from 1884 to 1885, as president of theBelgian Senate.
