Qedani Dorothy Mahlangu (born 12 May 1968) is a South African politician who served continuously in the Gauteng Executive Council from 2004 to 2017. She is best known for her tenure as Gauteng's Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for Health from 2014 to 2017, when she presided over the Life Esidimeni scandal. In February 2017, she resigned from the Executive Council and from the Gauteng Provincial Legislature after the Health Ombud, Malegapuru Makgoba, released a report which implicated her in the scandal.

Before her appointment as Health MEC, Mahlangu served as MEC for Infrastructure Development from 2012 to 2014, MEC for Economic Development from 2010 to 2012, MEC for Health and Social Development from 2009 to 2010, and MEC for Local Government from 2004 to 2009. She is a member of the African National Congress and served multiple terms on the party's Provincial Executive Committee in Gauteng.
