Anatol Mühlstein (22 August 1889 – 29 September 1957) was a Polish diplomat and writer. He served as Chargé d'affaires for the Polish embassy in Brussels in 1927,[1] and as Minister Plenipotentiary for the Polish embassy in Paris 1930–36.[2]
Born to a Jewish family in Warsaw, he studied in Geneva, Paris, and Brussels. Mühlstein was studying in Brussels when war broke out in 1914.[3] Stranded without support, the family of a law professor took him in. He later married and divorced a daughter in the family, Suzanne Dumont.[4] He was active in the Belgian resistance, and was one of three founders of an underground journal first published in 1918, Le Flambeau.[3]
Mühlstein joined the Polish diplomatic service in 1919, assigned to Brussels. During that time, he was a member of the Polish delegation to the Locarno Conference and League of Nations assemblies.[3] He was promoted and transferred to Paris in 1930.[3]

In 1932, Mühlstein married Diane de Rothschild, daughter of French banker Robert de Rothschild.[5] The couple had three daughters: Cécile, Anka, and Nathalie.[6]
After the German invasion of France, Mühlstein moved to the United States. He returned to France after World War II.
