Amanda Lathlin (born July 17, 1976) is a Canadian politician, who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba in a by-election on April 22, 2015.[1] She represents the constituency of The Pas-Kameesak as a member of the New Democratic Party of Manitoba.[1]

She is the daughter of Oscar Lathlin, who represented The Pas in the provincial legislature from 1990 to 2008,[1] and is the first First Nations woman ever elected to the provincial legislature.[2] In the 2019 election, after The Pas riding was redistributed, she won the newly-created riding of The Pas-Kameesak.

Prior to her election to the legislature, Lathlin worked for the University College of the North and served as a band councillor for the Opaskwayak Cree Nation.[3]
