Iolanda Lima Fleming (born 20 June 1936, Manoel Urbano) is a Brazilian professor and politician. She is noted as the first woman to become a state governor in Brazil.[1] She served as the Governor of Acre from 1986 to 1987.[2][3]

Fleming is the daughter of Horacio Lima, a rubber tapper and native of Ceará; and Nazira Anute Lima, a Brazilian of Lebanese descent. She was married to Geraldo Fleming (1929-1991), a politician and military officer from Minas Gerais.

Fleming was originally a member of the Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB) and served on the city council of Rio Branco, the capital of Acre, and as a deputy to the state legislature. She served as Vice Governor of Acre under Nabor Teles da Rocha Júnior as part of the Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB).
