Joseph Clovis Louis Marie Emmanuel Pholien (French pronunciation: [ʒozɛf klɔvis lwi maʁi emanɥɛl fɔljɛ̃]; 28 December 1884 – 4 January 1968) was a Belgian Catholic politician and member of the PSC-CVP. He was born in Liège, and volunteered to serve with the Belgian army during World War I, being commissioned as a first lieutenant.
