Emilce Cuda (born December 26, 1965) is an Argentine theologian, university professor, and Roman Curia official.

Dubbed "the woman who knows how to read Pope Francis", she is known for interpreting the teachings of Pope Francis through the Argentine Theology of the People, political philosophers, and her own native exposure to Pope Francis’ cultural milieu.

She is the first Argentine laywoman to receive a pontifical Ph.D. in moral theology and the first woman to hold an executive position in the Pontifical Commission for Latin America.
