Dumarsais Estimé (1900 Verrettes - July 20, 1953) was a Haïtian political figure. He served as the President of Haïti from 16 August 1946 until 10 May 1950.

He was born in the small city of Verrettes, on the Eastern part of the Artibonite District. His presidency is fondly remembered by many Haïtians, since he initiated the irrigation of the Artibonite plain and the cultivation of rice in Haïti.

He was overthrown by the Haitian army, held under house arrest, then exiled in Paris.
