Mirna Louisa-Godett (born 29 January 1954) is a Curaçaoan politician who served as the 25th Prime Minister of the Netherlands Antilles from 11 August 2003 until 3 June 2004.

Louisa-Godett became prime minister, following fraud allegations against her brother, leader of the Party Workers' Liberation Front 30 May (FOL).[1] Their father was, also known as Papa Godett, leader of the 1969 Curaçao uprising. Critics accused Louisa-Godett of being merely a puppet of her brother.[2]

The Godett government collapsed in early 2004 over corruption allegations against justice minister Ben Komproe.[3] [4]
