Monique Nemni (born 1936) is a Canadian linguist and writer, best known for a series of biographies of former Prime Minister of Canada Pierre Trudeau which she cowrote with her husband Max Nemni.[1]

She is a retired professor of linguistics at the Université du Québec à Montréal,[2] and a former coeditor of Cité Libre.[3]

The first volume of the Trudeau biography, Young Trudeau: Son of Quebec, Father of Canada, 1919-1944, won the Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing in 2006.[4] The second volume, Trudeau Transformed: The Shaping of a Statesman, 1944-1965, was a shortlisted nominee for the same award in 2011.[1] A third volume, focusing on Trudeau's career in elected politics after 1965, is slated for future publication.
