Sophie Thevenoux (née Solamito) is a Monegasque politician and diplomat.

Thevenoux was named to the Council of Government in 2009, taking up her position as Counsellor of Finance and Economy on March 26 of that year; she became the first woman to be named to a ministerial post in the government of Monaco. She presided over the ministry during a difficult period, during which revenue declined a considerable amount due to a variety of factors. She had previously served as director general of the Department of Finances, to which position she had been named in 2005.[1] Thevenoux remained in charge of the ministry until 2011,[2] when she was replaced by Marco Piccinini; Marie-Pierre Gramaglia entered the cabinet at the same time, becoming the second woman in Monaco's history to be appointed to such a position.[3] In 2015 she was named Head of the Principality of Monaco's Mission to the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community, presenting her credentials to Donald Tusk on May 7;[4] at the same time she became Monaco's ambassador to Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. She previously served as Monaco's ambassador to France.[5] In 2016 she was named a Grand Officier of the Ordre National du Mérite in a ceremony in Brussels.[6] She is married.[7]
