Ayachi Hammami (Arabic: العياشي الهمامي; born in 1959 in Gafsa-Tunisia) is a Tunisian lawyer and human rights defender. He has played a significant role in Tunisia’s legal, political, and civil society landscape, particularly in defense, of human rights, judicial independence, the rule of law and political plurality. Hammami was a board member of leading national and international human rights organizations. Hammami served as a government minister in 2020. He was a central figure in opposing the dismantlement of the rule of law and independence of the judiciary after Kais Saied's coup in Tunisia on 25 July 2021. On 2 December 2025 he was arrested to enforce a prison sentence in a politically motivated prosecution widely criticized by international rights groups.
