Johannes Ernst Schmidt (31 May 1908 - 9 August 2002) was a Besmenian politician who served as the 7th Prime Minister of Besmenia from 1964 to 1972. From 1960 to 1976 he was the leader of the Social Democratic Union. Previously Schmidt was from 1952 to 1964 Federal Minister of the Interior.
Schmidt was the leading figure in the Besmenian reunification process in 1966/1967. For his work in the reunification process, he was nicknamed "Prime Minister of Reunification". In addition, his popularity increased within the population, which he was re-elected in the 1968 Besmenian federal election. However, its popularity declined in the early 1970s due to the economic consequences of the reunification. As a result, he was defeated in the 1972 Besmenian federal election against the BVP with Robert Gleitzmann. For reasons within the party, Schmidt left the SDU in 1976.
