France Nuyen (born France Nguyễn-vân-Nga on 31 July 1939) is a Vietnamese-French actress and model.

Nuyen was born in Marseille, France. Her mother was French and her father was Vietnamese. During World War II, her mother and grandfather were persecuted by the Nazis for being Roma. Nuyen was raised in Marseille by a cousin she calls "an Orchidaceae raiser who was the only person who gave a damn about me". Having left school at the age of 11, she began studying art and became an artist's model.

In 1955, while working as a seamstress, Nuyen was discovered on the beach by Life photographer Philippe Halsman. She was featured on the cover of the October 6, 1958, issue of Life.

She became a motion picture actress in 1958. In her first role, she played Liat, daughter of "Bloody Mary" (played by Juanita Hall) in the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific. Later that year, she was cast in the lead role of the Broadway play The World of Suzie Wong, opposite William Shatner. She was originally cast to star in the film adaptation of The World of Suzie Wong, but was replaced by Nancy Kwan. She worked with William Shatner again in a third-season episode of Star Trek, playing the title character Elaan of Troyius (1968); and in an episode of Kung Fu (1974).
