Suzanne Lamy (September 30, 1929 – February 25, 1987) was a French-born educator, essayist and critic in Quebec.[1]

She was born in Lombez and came to Quebec in 1954. She studied at the Université de Montréal and taught French and Quebec literature at the Cégep du Vieux-Montréal from 1968 to 1986. Lamy also lectured at the Université de Montréal and the Université de Sherbrooke.[1]

She is best known for her two essays: D'elles (1979) and Quand je lis je m'invente (1984), which contributed to the development of feminist criticism in Quebec. Her writing appeared in various magazines such as Châtelaine, Forces, Cahiers du centre de recherche sur le surréalisme and Actuellement.[2] She was manager for the cultural magazine Spirale from 1984 to 1986.[1]
