Dr. Lubanah Mshaweh (Arabic: لبانة مشوح) (born December 1955) is a former minister of culture of Syria. She holds a PhD in linguistics from Paris 8 University.

Mshaweh was included in the list of sanctioned individuals, during the Syrian Civil War, by the European Union, as she "shares responsibility for the regime's violent repression against the civilian population."

She resumed her role as Minister of Culture in 2020 for the Hussein Arnous government, and then for his second cabinet.
