Oumar Tatam Ly (born 28 November 1963) was Prime Minister of Mali from 5 September 2013 to 5 April 2014. He was previously a special adviser at the Central Bank of West African States.

Oumar Tatam Ly was born in 1963 in Paris. He holds a degree from Panthéon-Sorbonne University and ESSEC Business School.

Tatam Ly worked as a special adviser at the Central Bank of West African States before being appointed as Prime Minister of Mali by President Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta on 5 September 2013, a day after Keïta was sworn in as President.[1] In Tatam Ly's government, the post of Minister of Reconciliation was created and assigned to Cheick Ouamar Diarrah.[2]

At the end of November 2013, his proposed visit to Kidal in Azawad and the consequent police repression of protests against the protesters led to the MNLA aborting the ceasefire agreement.

Tatam Ly resigned on 5 April 2014, and Moussa Mara was appointed to replace him on the same day.[3]
