Salifou Fatimata Bazeye is a Nigerien jurist who was the President of the Supreme Court of Niger from 2007 to 2009. She was born in 1951 in Dosso, Niger. She was educated at Ecole Nationale de la Magistrature de Paris in France in 1979. Once she received her degree, she returned to Niger to work as a Magistrate. She worked as a Magistrate until 2005, serving on the different local courts, before moving to the Court of Appeals.

In 2005, she became a member of the Supreme Court. Following her work on the Supreme Court, she was nominated to the Constitutional Court in 2007 and elected President of the Constitutional Court by the members. She served her term from 2007 until 2009, when the President of Niger, Mamadou Tandja, chose to retire the Constitution and dismiss the Constitutional Court. This was done because the court prevented him from serving a third term.

Once Mamadou Tandja was overthrown in a military coup in 2010, Bazeye was named as head of the Constitutional Council, a High Court made for the transition of Niger. On the Constitutional Council, she steered Niger for a democratic transition until she left the court in 2013. Bazeye was chosen as the African of the year in 2011 for her incorruptibility.
