Sir Emmanuel Neville Cenac, GCMG (born 1935?) is the Governor-General of Saint Lucia. He was appointed to that post in January 2018. He was previously best known as a Saint Lucian politician, serving as the country's foreign minister from 1987 to 1992.
On 18 January 2018, Cenac was appointed Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George (GCMG) in the 2018 Special Honours.
Cenac was the brother of the late Winston Cenac, who served as prime minister of Saint Lucia for eight months from 1981 to 1982.
Cenac was the leader of the opposition Saint Lucia Labour Party in December 1982, during a constitutional dispute over the status of Governor-General Boswell Williams. John Compton, the serving prime minister and a member of the governing United Workers Party, had taken steps to have Williams unseated. In response, Cenac wrote a letter to Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, the monarch of Saint Lucia, asking her to disregard Compton's actions. The dispute ended when Williams resigned on 13 December 1982.
Cenac was returned as a Labour Party member of the Saint Lucian parliament during the country's two successive elections in April 1987.
The website of the Saint Lucia Labour Party indicates that Cenac was elected for the Laborie constituency in two elections as well as representing the party at the municipal level in Castries.
