Jacques Necker — à l'époque prononcé [nɛkʁ] (« nècre ») et non [ne.kɛʁ] — né le 28 septembre 1732 à Genève en république de Genève et mort le 9 avril 1804 à Genève, est un financier et homme politique genevois, ministre des Finances de Louis XVI. Il est le père de Madame de Staël. Après avoir fait fortune comme banquier à Paris et à la suite du succès de ses essais en matière de politique économique, il est nommé par Louis XVI directeur général du Trésor royal en 1776, puis des Finances. Il modernise alors l’organisation économique du royaume en s’opposant au libéralisme de ses prédécesseurs. Renvoyé en mai 1781, peu avant les grandes spéculations boursières sous Louis XVI, il est rappelé en août 1788 avec le titre de ministre d’État du fait du soutien indéfectible de l’opinion publique, et convoque les États généraux en obtenant le doublement du tiers état.
