Isabelle Ciaravola (born March 12, 1972) is a French ballet dancer. From 1990, she danced with the Paris Opera Ballet where she rose to the top rank of étoile in 2009. Since retiring from the stage in February 2014, she has devoted most of her time to teaching.

Born in Ajaccio to Christian and Paulette Ciaravola, she began ballet classes as a child in her native Corsica before she was identified at the age of 13 as having exceptional promise while on a course in continental France. As a result, she studied under Christiane Vaussard at the Conservatoire de Paris, winning the First Prize in 1988 at the age of 16. She joined the Paris Opera Ballet School, where she graduated two years later.

Ciaravola became a member of the Paris Opera Ballet in 1990, only the second Corsican to do so, after Marie-Claude Pietragalla. It was quite some time before her talents were fully recognized. Only in 2003 did she become a première danseuse which allowed her to dance as a leading soloist, with opportunities for deciding which works she wanted to pursue. Among her preferences were Roland Petit's Clavigo, John Neumeier's Lady of the Camellias and Troisième Symphonie de Gustav Mahler, and Kenneth MacMillan's L'Histoire de Manon.
