Ahmed Ounaies, also spelled Ahmed Ounaiss, (born 25 January 1936) is a Tunisian politician and diplomat who was Foreign Minister for two weeks in the transitional government established after the 2010–2011 Tunisian uprising.
Public pressure forced him to resign a week after controversially praising French Minister Michèle Alliot-Marie, who openly supported Ben Ali and helped deliver tear gas to police forces.
He was only in office for two weeks.
His predecessor who was Ben Ali's foreign minister — Kamel Morjane — had also resigned from his post.
His successor — Mouldi Kefi — was appointed on 21 February 2011.
