The French president during the Suez Crisis was René Coty. He served as the President of France from 1954 to 1959, which included the time period of the Suez Crisis in 1956.

The Suez Crisis was a political and military conflict between Egypt on one side, and the UK, France, and Israel on the other. The crisis began when Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal, which had been owned by the British and French. The crisis escalated into a military conflict when the UK, France, and Israel invaded Egypt. The United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Nations intervened to end the conflict, which ultimately resulted in a withdrawal of the UK, France, and Israel from Egypt.
