Chahnez Al-M'barki (also Chahnez M'barki, Arabic: شهناز المباركي; born June 12, 1981) is a Tunisian judoka, who played for the extra-lightweight category.[1] She is a six-time medalist at the African Judo Championships, and a bronze medalist at the 2007 All-Africa Games in Algiers, Algeria.[2] She also won a silver medal for her division at the 2009 Mediterranean Games in Pescara, Italy, losing out to the host nation's Elena Moretti.[3][4]

M'barki represented Tunisia at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed for the women's extra-lightweight class (48 kg). Unfortunately, she lost the first preliminary round match, by a waza-ari awasete ippon (two full points), and a morote gari (two hand reap), to Ukraine's Lyudmyla Lusnikova.[5][6]
