Nadezhda Neynsky, previously known as Nadezhda Nikolova Mihaylova (Bulgarian: Надежда Николова Михайлова) (born 9 August 1962 in Sofia) is a Bulgarian politician. In the past, she was Minister of Foreign affairs (1997–2001), head of Union of Democratic Forces (March 2002 – October 2005) and Member of the Bulgarian Parliament (37th, 38th, 39th and 40th Narodno Subranie).

Since a rather young age, Mihaylova has had an interest in poetry. In 1977 she completed her primary education at the 127th "Ivan Denkoglu" school in Sofia and in 1981 graduated from the 9th French language high school "Alphonse de Lamartine" in the capital. She was recalled by teachers as a top student, who excelled in the study of literature and Spanish language. Mihaylova was subsequently enrolled as a philology student at Sofia University, completing her studies in 1985. Between 1986 and 1988, she worked as a freelance journalist. In that period Mihaylova became a member of the Union of Translators in Bulgaria (Bulgarian: Съюз на преводачите в България).
Nadezhda Mihaylova was a member of the Union of Democratic Forces (SDS) until she left in November 2012 after 21 years of membership in the party.
