Lamine Guèye (20 September 1891 in Médine, French Sudan – 10 June 1968 in Dakar) was a Senegalese politician who became leader of the Parti Sénégalais de l'Action Socialiste ("Senegalese Party of Socialist Action"). In 1945 he and his associate, Léopold Sédar Senghor, were elected to represent Senegal in the French National Assembly. Gueye was also elected to the French Senate in 1958.

He died in Dakar on 10 June 1968. At the time, he was the President of the National Assembly.[1]
He was the grandfather of Senegalese alpine skier Lamine Guèye.[2]
