Emmanuel Odarkwei Obetsebi-Lamptey (*1902 –  +1963) was a politician in the British colony of the Gold Coast. He was with Kwame Nkruma togheter, one of the founders and leaders of the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC) also known as "The Big Six".

A roundabout with his memorial, on the Ring Road West in Accra, is named after him.
