Antti Verner Hackzell (20 September 1881 – 14 January 1946) was aFinnish politician from theNational Coalition Party andPrime Minister of Finland from August to September 1944.^[1]

In summer 1944 Hackzell was chosen to form a government with the goal of signing a peace treaty with the Soviet Union. Hackzell suffered a stroke inSavoy Hotel inMoscow while on peace treaty negotiations on 14 September, and he never recovered completely. His minister of foreign affairs,Carl Enckell, concluded the negotiations.
