Jacqueline Laurent (6 August 1918 – 18 December 2009) was a French film actress. She starred with Jean Gabin in Marcel Carné's Le jour se lève (1939).[1]
Laurent was the daughter of Jacques Janin, a composer whose compositions included music for films.[2]

After seeing one of Laurent's French films, Louis B. Mayer suggested that she try acting in Hollywood. That suggestion led to her American film debut in Judge Hardy's Children (1938).[2]
