Ida Faubert (14 February 1882 – 23 July 1969) (Christian first name Gertrude Florentine Félicitée Ida) was a Haitian writer. She was a complex literary figure: bicultural, biracial, and privileged, she neither fitted easily into socially-prescribed categories for women of color in France or Haiti nor conformed to them. As a deft writer and socialite in both Port-au-Prince and Paris, she promoted and participated in the movements of Haitian writers and literature in Haiti and France.
