Alain Joseph Aoun[3] (Arabic: آلان جوزيف عون; born 1971[1][2]) is a Lebanese politician and former member of the Strong Lebanon bloc in the Lebanese parliament.
He is a telecom engineer and holder of an MBA and a MSc in Finance, and a nephew of Lebanese President Michel Aoun. He has been part of the FPM since its creation.[4] He was elected Maronite Member of Parliament for the constituency of Baabda on 7 June 2009, on the Change and Reform list. He was re-elected on 6 May 2018 for a third term. On 20 May 2018, he was elected by the general assembly as Secretary of the Lebanese Parliament.[5]
In August 2024, Alain Aoun left FPM after a dispute with the party leader over his lack of alignments with the parliamentary bloc, like refusing to vote for Jihad Azour in the 2022–2025 Lebanese presidential election.[6]
