Louis Van Haecke (born June 1, 1910 in La Ferté-Macé , † March 3, 1978 ) was a French politician. From 1961 to 1962 and from 1963 to 1967 he was a member of the National Assembly .

After completing his law and economics studies, Van Haecke worked as a lecturer in social sciences and later as a regional education inspector. From 1939 he took part in the Second World War and received the Croix de Guerre for his services . His political career began in 1946 when he entered the municipal council of Villalet (today: Sylvains-Lès-Moulins ). This was followed in 1955 by the election of mayor of the municipality, which at that time had around 45 residents. In 1958, Jean de Broglie elected him as his deputy in the first constituency of the Eure department in the parliamentary elections . With Broglie's appointment as State Secretary, Van Haecke succeeded him in the National Assembly in September 1961. There he represented the Center national des indépendants et paysans , but repeatedly opposed the decisions of his party. In the following parliamentary elections in 1962 he came back as deputy of de Broglie and had to give up his mandate accordingly. However, he was able to move back into the National Assembly in January 1963 when de Broglie became State Secretary again. He joined the Républicains indépendants party , which consisted of former members of the CNIP. After leaving parliament in 1967 he was no longer politically active at national level, but was elected to the General Council of the Eure department in 1973. The politician, who died in 1978, was a knight of the Legion of Honor and holder of the Ordre des Palmes Académiques (knight level).
