El Hossein El Ouardi (Arabic: الحسين الوردي - born 22 September 1954) is a Moroccan politician of the Party of Progress and Socialism. Since 3 January 2012, he holds the position of Minister of Health in Abdelilah Benkirane's government.
In January 2014, El Ouardi was physically assaulted while exiting the parliament in Rabat. His assailants were members of the pharmacists union/lobby, and one of them was the brother-in-law of Fouad Ali El Himma, the influential advisor and close-friend of Mohammed VI, in addition to being the cousin of the Party of Authenticity and Modernity female Mayor of Marrakesh. The incident resulted in minor injuries for the minister.
