Virginie Ledoyen (born 15 November, 1976)[1] is a French actress.

Ledoyen was born Virginie Fernandez in Paris, France but spent most of her youth in Aubervilliers, the northeastern suburb of Paris.

She was a print model from the age of 2 and later took on the stage name "Ledoyen" after the maiden name of her maternal grandmother, who had been a stage actress.

Her breakthrough came with La Fille seule (1995) for which she was nominated for a César Award for Most Promising Actress. Also she received two César Award nominations for Les marmottes (1993) and L'eau froide (1994). Outside of France, her best-known role is alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in The Beach (2000). In the fall of 2000, she signed a contract with L'Oréal, as a spokesmodel with the cosmetics company. She was featured alongside two models Laetitia Casta and Noémie Lenoir.

On 29 September 2001 she gave birth to her first child, a girl named Lilas.

As of 20 September 2007 she married film director Iain Rogers.
