Henri Lefèvre d'Ormesson (8 May 1751,Paris,France – 12 April 1808, Paris, France) was a French politician. In 1783, he very briefly served asFinance Minister at a critical moment when France was on the verge of acknowledging its bankruptcy.^[1] He was only thirty-one years old at the time. When he brought his concerns to theking he was reproached: Louis said to d'Ormesson, "I am still younger, and my situation is more difficult than that which I intrust to you."^[2] This gave the new finance minister a boost in confidence, but he was unable to rise to the enormous challenge of stabilizing the nation'sfinancial turmoil, and, after holding office for only seven months, he resigned in late 1783.^[2] A man of inconsiderable fortune, he nevertheless donated to the poor of St.-Cyr.^[2] He served asMayor of Paris starting on 21 November 1792, but resigned immediately. He was replaced byNicolas Chambon on 30 November 1792.
