The first lady of Senegal (French: Première Dame du Sénégal) is the title attributed to the wife of the president of Senegal. The country's current first lady is wife of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, who had held the position since 2 April 2024. There has been no first gentleman of Senegal to date.
Senegal's inaugural first lady, Colette Hubert Senghor, wife of President Léopold Sédar Senghor, was from France.[1][2] The country's second first lady, Elizabeth Diouf, is the daughter of a Lebanese father and a Senegalese mother.[1] Like Colette Senghor, Viviane Wade, Senegal's third first lady, is an ethnic French woman from France.[1]
Marieme Faye Sall, the country's fourth first lady, is the country's first black first lady, as well as the first fully Senegalese-born and raised first lady.[1][2]
President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, who has two wives, Marie Khone Faye and Absa Faye, is Senegal's first polygamous president.[3]
