Roxane Mesquida (born 1 October 1981)[1][2][3] is a French actress and model based in Los Angeles.

In 1998, she also played opposite Isabelle Huppert in The School of Flesh (L'École de la Chair) by Benoît Jacquot. A few years later, she crossed paths with the renowned director who would make her well-known and, according to Roxane, who made her learn her craft: Catherine Breillat.
