Pandelani Jeremia Nefolovhodwe (born 2 February 1947) is a South African politician and former anti-apartheid activist who served as deputy president of the Azanian People's Organisation (AZAPO) from 1992 to 2010. He represented the party in the National Assembly from 2002 to 2009 and was formerly its president from 1990 to 1992.

During apartheid, Nefolovhodwe was a leading member of the Black Consciousness movement, particularly at the University of the North at Turfloop. He was national president of the South African Students' Organisation (SASO) in 1974, when he and eight others were charged under the Terrorism Act in the SASO Nine trial. He was imprisoned on Robben Island from 1976 to 1982 and upon his release became involved in union organising, including as a founding member of the National Council of Trade Unions.
