Djuna Bernard (born 15 June 1992) is a Luxembourgish politician from Déi Gréng. She was a member of the Chamber of Deputies from December 2018 to 2023, and again since 2024.[2] A candidate in the 2018 legislative election, she was not directly elected but replaced Sam Tanson when she became Minister for Housing and Culture,[3] making her the youngest deputy in the Chamber at 26 years old.[4] [5] She stood as a candidate for the co-presidency of The Greens in January 2019,[6] and subsequently won in March that year and currently serves with Meris Šehović.[7] [8] Bernard and Šehović were both re-elected unopposed in March 2021.[9]

In October 2019, Bernard declared her intention to stand in the South circonscription for the 2023 Luxembourg general election.[10] She ended up standing on the party list for the Centre circonscription,[11] winning 8,556 votes but failing to be elected.[12] Her party lost 5 out of 9 seats, leading to the loss of the Bettel II Government's majority.[13] She nonetheless returned to the chamber in July 2024 to replace François Bausch.
