Dembo M. Badjie (born 1952) is a retired Gambian civil servant and diplomat. He entered the Gambian Government in 1970, taking a break to study Political Science and Economics at Rust College, followed by postgraduate studies at Glasgow Caledonian University.[2] He reentered the civil service in 1978, serving in several ministries, including local government and education.[1] In 1983, he had a daughter, Fatim Badjie, who is also a Gambian politician.[3]

He eventually joined the foreign service, serving as the first secretary of the Gambian embassy in Brussels and the Gambian mission to the United Nations.[1] He became Ambassador to Sierra Leone in 2004.

In 2010, he was moved to be the Gambian ambassador to India (also serving Bangladesh and Myanmar), in 2010,[1] before entering the Gambian embassy in China in 2016, after the resumption of diplomatic relations between the two countries.[2]

In 2017, he retired and wrote a book, Outlook on Governance & Administration in The Gambia.[4]
