Celina Leão Hizim Ferreira (born 2 March 1977) is a Brazilian business administrator and politician affiliated to the Progressistas (PP), who currently serves as the vice-governor of the Federal District and was the acting governor after the removal of Ibaneis Rocha for 90 days by the Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. Ibaneis was removed after being accused of ignoring security flaws during the 2023 Brazilian Congress attack. The decision to remove Ibaneis from office ended up being endorsed in plenary of the Supreme Federal Court by 9 votes to 2, but it was later revoked by Alexandre de Moraes on 15 March 2023.

Leão is a former federal deputy and former state deputy, and she previously served as a president of the Legislative Chamber of the Federal District.

Leão was elected in the first round as vice-governor in 2022, and served only 8 days before assuming the interim governorship.
