Justice Tahani al-Gebali (Arabic: تهاني الجبالي‎‎, born 9 November 1950-) is the previous Vice President of the Supreme Constitutional Court of Egypt. In 2003 she was appointed by President Hosni Mubarak to her office, becoming by that the first woman to hold a judiciary position in Egypt, and she remained so until 32 Egyptian women were appointed to various judicial positions in 2007.

On July 2012, The New York Times wrote that Supreme Constitutional Court Vice President Tahani al-Gebali advised the SCAF not to cede power to civilians until a constitution was written. This was denied by judge al-Gebali who announced she will sue the newspaper.
