Marie Arianne Navarre-Marie (born 3 March 1961) is a Mauritian politician who currently serves as Minister of Gender Equality and Family Welfare since 2024. She has also previously held the same ministry from 2000 to 2005 under a modified portfolio as minister of Women's Rights, Child Development and Family Welfare.
A member of the Mauritian Militant Movement, Navarre-Marie was first elected to the Legislative Assembly in 1982, becoming the youngest elected member at that time at the age of 21. She has subsequently been a candidate in every general election since 1995 and became an MP again between 1995 and 2014 and again from 2019.
Alongside Paul Bérenger, she is the only member to have been elected to the three occasions that a 60–0 victory was achieved in general elections held in Mauritius: the first in 1982, second in 1995 and the third in 2024.
