Saida Menebhi (1952, Marrakesh - 11 December 1977, Casablanca) was a Moroccan poet and activist of a Marxist revolutionary movement Ila al-Amam. In 1975, she, together with five other members of the movement, was sentenced for seven years of imprisonment for anti-state activity. In the jail in Casablanca, she went on hunger strike and died on the 34th day of the strike.

Her poetry, collected and published in 2000, is considered a prime example of Moroccan revolutionary and feminist literature. She wrote in French.
