Ernestine Ouandié (May 11, 1961 – October 27, 2009) was a Cameroonian journalist. The daughter of political exile Ernest Ouandié who she never met, Ouandié had a difficult childhood in Ghana, and later in life (after becoming a journalist) moved to Cameroon to learn more about her father. She was featured in a documentary directed by Jean-Marie Teno, titled Une feuille dans le vent (Leaf in the Wind), about her life and her feelings about her father's 1971 execution. The documentary footage was filmed in 2004; the film was released in 2013 after she committed suicide.
