The First Lady of Tanzania is the unofficial title held by the wife of the President of Tanzania. The country's present First Lady is Janeth Magufuli, who assumed office in November 2015.

Present and former Tanzanian First Ladies are often affectionately called "Mama" within the country. In recent years, there has been public debate over the increasingly prominent role of the First Ladies of Tanzania. There have been calls for Parliament to formalize the office of First Lady.
