**Nathalie Delon** (born Francine Canovas; Oujda, Morocco, 1941 – Paris, France, 2021) was a French actress and model.

She is primarily remembered for her meteoric cinematic debut and most iconic role in Jean-Pierre Melville's *Frank Costello faccia d'angelo* (Le Samouraï, 1967), alongside her then-husband Alain Delon. In this noir masterpiece, she embodied the archetype of the enigmatic and sophisticated woman, with a magnetic yet restrained presence, which defined her in the eyes of the public.

Her career spanned over thirty years, appearing in approximately thirty films, often in roles as mysterious, sensual, and sometimes tormented women. Her other notable appearances include Henri Glaeser's *La Main* (1969) and the British thriller *Pianeta libero* (When Eight Bells Toll, 1971). Nathalie Delon remained a style icon and an emblematic figure of a certain melancholic elegance in French cinema of the 1960s and 1970s.
