Pierre Marcilhacy (14 February 1910 Jarnac, Charente – 6 July 1987) was a French politician.
He was a Senator for the Charente, sitting in the Democratic Left group.
Candidate to the French Presidency
He ran against Charles de Gaulle in the French presidential election, 1965 for the European Liberal Party, a small centrist liberal group. He won 1.71% and was thus eliminated; and sided with François Mitterrand, who happened to be born in the same town, Jarnac, in the runoff.
Marcilhacy is thus remembered as one of a number of widely diverse candidates — from both the left and the right — who stood against de Gaulle in 1965.
Later life
He lost his Senate seat in 1981 but entered the Constitutional Council of France in 1983.
Death
He died in 1987.
