Nuala Fennell (born in 1935) is an Irish economist and former Fine Gael Party politician.

She was elected in the 1981 general election to the 22nd Dáil, as TD for Dublin South. After the election, Fine Gael entered into a coalition government with the Labour Party, and Fennell was a prominent backbencher.

Fianna Fáil regained power briefly at the February 1982 election, but the coalition was returned to power later that year at the November 1982 election and Fennell was appointed Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach (with responsibilities for Women's Affairs and Family Law) and Minister of State at the Department of Justice.

She lost her seat at the 1987 general election, and nominated by the Taoiseach Garret FitzGerald to the 17th Seanad, in its last days. She was then elected to the 18th Seanad on the Labour Panel. At the 1989 general election, she was returned to the 26th Dáil, but retired from politics at the next election in 1992.
