The Chapman-Enskog method, in combination with the quantum maximum entropy principle, is applied to the Wigner equation in order to obtain quantum Navier-Stokes equations for electrons in graphene in the isothermal case. The derivation is based on the quantum version of the maximum entropy principle and follows the lines of Ringhofer-Degond-M\'ehats' theory (J. Stat. Phys. 112, 2003 and Z. Angew. Math. Mech. 90, 2010). The model obtained in this way is then semiclassically expanded up to $\mathcal{O}(\hbar^2)$.
