Sarah A. Wescot-Williams (born 8 April 1956)[5] is the leader of the Democratic Party of Sint Maarten and the first Prime Minister of Sint Maarten.

Following the collapse of the first Wescot-Williams cabinet in April 2012, she was again designated Prime Minister in the second Wescot-Williams cabinet installed on 21 May 2012.[7][8][9] On 19 December 2014 Wescot-Williams was succeeded as prime minister by Marcel Gumbs.
