Franz Josef Hoop (/hˈup/, German: [ˈjoːzɛf hˈoːp] ; 14 December 1895 – 19 October 1959) was a Liechtensteiner diplomat and politician who served as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein from 1928 to 1945. Hoop is best known for his efforts to retain Liechtenstein's neutrality and independence during World War II. Serving for seventeen years, he is the longest-serving prime minister in the country's history, ahead of his successor Alexander Frick by 79 days.
