Emilce Cuda (born 26 December 1965) is an Argentine theologian, university professor, and Roman Curia official.

Dubbed "the woman who knows how to read Pope Francis",[1] she is known for interpreting the teachings of Pope Francis through the Argentine Theology of the People,[2] political philosophers, and her own native exposure to Pope Francis’ cultural milieu.

She is the first Argentine laywoman to receive a pontifical PhD in moral theology [3] and the first woman to hold an executive position in the Pontifical Commission for Latin America.[4]
