Lamine Guèye (born 1891, Médine (now in Mali); died 1968) was a Senegalese politician who became leader of the Senegalese Party of Socialist Action (Parti Sénégalais de l'Action Socialiste). In 1945 he and his associate Leopold Senghor were elected to represent Senegal in the French National Assembly. He gave his name to the 1946 Lamine Guèye law (loi Lamine Guèye) which granted French citizenship to the inhabitants of France's overseas colonies.
