Emmanuel Monick (January 10, 1893, in Le Mans, France – December 23, 1983?) was a French politician and banker. He was appointed Governor of the Banque de France during the liberation of France at the end of World War II, replacing Yves Bréart de Boisanger, Inspector of Finance in Vichy France.
As the Secretary General of Finance in the Provisional Government of the French Republic from August 29 to September 4, 1944, he had to decide what to do about the gold that the Nazi Party requisitioned from the National Bank of Belgium following the Second Armistice at Compiègne in 1940, which they later sold to the Swiss National Bank.The 220 tonnes of gold were repaid to the National Bank of Belgium at the end of 1944 from the Banque de France's own reserves. Monick negotiated the recovery for the Banque de France of 90 tonnes of gold and 250 million Swiss francs.
