Karim Bouamrane (French pronunciation: [kaʁim bwamʁan]; born 21 February 1973) is a French businessman and politician who has served as Mayor of Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine since 2020.

A moderate Socialist, he was featured in international news when his commune, a Parisian suburb, became the subject of reports for its extensive urban renewal ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics.[1][2][3] After the Olympics and prior to the appointment of Michel Barnier, French media speculated Bouamrane could be a contender for Prime Minister following the 2024 snap legislative election.
