Béatrice Dalle (born 19 December 1964) is a French actress.

Béatrice Dalle was born in Brest, Finistère, France, as Béatrice Cabarrou. In 1985 she married the painter Jean-François Dalle but they divorced in 1988.

She was working as a model when she met filmmaker Jean-Jacques Beineix. Beineix cast her in the lead role in the 1986 film 37°2 le matin (later released in the United Kingdom and United States under the title Betty Blue). She went on to appear in a series of major roles in French films, including the 1989 film Chimère, which was entered into the 1989 Cannes Film Festival.

She is seen in a feature role in the 1991 music video "Move To Memphis" by Norwegian band a-ha.

She made her debut to American audiences in Jim Jarmusch`s Night on Earth in 1991. In 1997, she was cast in The Blackout, her first film made in the United States. The film itself was a commercial failure.

She was cast to play opposite Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense in 1998. However, she lost the part when she was denied a work permit as an "undesirable immigrant" because of her arrest record.

1998 also saw the break up of Dalle`s engagement to actor Alessandro Gassman when he unexpectedly married another woman.

In 2001, Dalle appeared in the controversial film, Trouble Every Day, in which she played a cannibal. More recently, she starred in A l`intérieur, in which she played a cruel psychopath stalking a pregnant woman.

On 3 January 2005 she married Guénaël Meziani, a prison inmate.
