Michaël Taverne (born 10 March 1979) is a French politician of the National Rally. In 2022, he was elected to the National Assembly for Nord's 12th constituency.
Taverne graduated from University with a qualification in STAPS (Bachelor of Science and Techniques of Physical and Sports Activities) and worked as a police officer. He subsequently became a training and firearms instructor for the police at Lille central police station.[1][2]
