Sihem Boughdiri Nemsia (Arabic: سهام بوغديري نمصية ; born 1964 or 1965) is a Tunisian banker and politician. She has been Minister of Finance in the Bouden Cabinet in October 2021.[2][3]

On 17 October 2023 Kaïs Saïed asked Sihem Boughdiri to assume the portfolio of interim Minister of Economy and Planning following the dismissal of Samir Saïed from this position.[4]

She refused to cover her head when she took the oath of office, breaking with tradition.[5]
