Mounira Nahdi (Arabic: منيرة النهدي‎; born 15 January 1985 in Tunis) is a Tunisian taekwondo practitioner, who competed in the women's welterweight category.[1]

Nahdi qualified as a lone female taekwondo fighter for the Tunisian squad in the women's welterweight class (67 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens by placing second and granting a berth from the African Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Cairo, Egypt.[2][3] She lost her opening match to neighboring Morocco's Mouna Benabderrassoul with a score of 2–6. With her opponent falling behind Puerto Rico's Ineabelle Díaz in the quarterfinals, Nahdi denied her chance to compete for the Olympic bronze medal through the repechage.[4][5]
