Sükhbaataryn Yanjmaa (Mongolian: Сүхбаатарын Янжмаа; born Nemendeyen Yanjmaa Нэмэндэен Янжмаа; 1893 - 1963) was a Mongolian politician. Sükhbaataryn Yanjmaa was the widow of Damdin Sükhbaatar, the hero of Mongolia's 1921 revolution. That is why, after her husband's death, she adopted "Sükhbaataryn" in place of her patronymic, which would have been Nemedeyen.

Yanjmaa served on the politburo of the People's Revolutionary Party from 1940 until 1954, and was Secretary of the party's Central Committee from 1941 until 1947. She was a member of the Presidium of the Little Khural (the executive committee of the State Great Khural, or Parliament) from 1940 to 1950, and of the Great Khural from 1950 to 1962. Following the death of Gonchigiin Bumtsend, she served as acting President of Mongolia for the transitional period, lasting from 23 September 1953 until 7 July 1954.

This made her the second woman in the role of formal head of state of a republic, after Khertek Anchimaa-Toka in the Tuvan People's Republic. The next and most popular one was Isabel Martínez de Perón in Argentina in 1974. The first one based on a popular election was Vigdís Finnbogadóttir in Iceland in 1980.
