Noël Mamère (born December 25, 1948 in Libourne, Gironde, France ) is a French politician of the French Green Party (Les Verts). As of May 7, 2008, he is also a lawyer and member of the Paris Bar.

He rose to fame in the 1980s as a TV journalist: he was a news anchor for the evening news on Antenne 2.

In 1992, he became president of Brice Lalonde's Génération Écologie party, from which he was expelled in 1994. He then founded "Ecology-Solidarity Convergences", of which he was president, before joining Les Verts in 1998.

In 2002, he was presidential candidate and garnered 5.25% of the votes. He is the mayor of Bègles in Gironde as well as deputy to the French National Assembly for that constituency.

On June 5, 2004 he stirred up controversy by conducting a marriage ceremony for a male homosexual couple (see same-sex marriage in France).
