Sékou Kouréissy Condé (born 1954) is a Guinean politician and academic.

Condé was born in Kouroussa. After the death of his father, he lived with his uncle, El Hadj Sorry. He received a grant to study in the Czech Republic specifically at Charles University in Prague. In 1985 he received a doctorate in criminology and moved to Germany where he worked as an assistant specialising in African affairs for the Christian Democratic Union (CDU/CSU).
