Fathulla Jameel, NIIV (Dhivehi: ފަތުހުﷲ ޖަމީލް; 5 September 1942 – 1 March 2012) was a Maldivian diplomat and politician who served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Maldives from 1978 to 2005.

Jameel was the Permanent Representative of the Maldives to the United Nations from 14 April 1977 to 1978. He became Minister of Foreign Affairs on 14 March 1978 and, under presidents Ibrahim Nasir and Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, held that position for 27 years. On 14 July 2005, he resigned as Minister of Foreign Affairs and was instead appointed as a Special Advisor to the President. On 30 April 2008, he was sworn into the position of senior minister, a relatively new post created by the then incumbent president Gayoom.
