Djuna Bernard (born 15 June 1992) is a Luxembourgish politician from Déi Gréng. She was a member of the Chamber of Deputies from December 2018 to 2023, and again since 2024. A candidate in the 2018 legislative election, she was not directly elected but replaced Sam Tanson when she became Minister for Housing and Culture, making her the youngest deputy in the Chamber at 26 years old. She stood as a candidate for the co-presidency of The Greens in January 2019, and subsequently won in March that year and currently serves with Meris Šehović. Bernard and Šehović were both re-elected unopposed in March 2021.
In October 2019, Bernard declared her intention to stand in the South circonscription for the 2023 Luxembourg general election. She ended up standing on the party list for the Centre circonscription, winning 8,556 votes but failing to be elected. Her party lost 5 out of 9 seats, leading to the loss of the Bettel II Government's majority. She nonetheless returned to the chamber in July 2024 to replace François Bausch.
