Mireille Césarine Balin (born Blanche Mireille Césarine Balin; 20 July 1909, in Monte Carlo – 9 November 1968 in Paris) was a French-Italian actress. Balin was born near Monte Carlo. Her father, Charles Balin, was a French newspaper publisher. Her mother was Italian. Her education came at finishing schools.

Considered one of the finest actresses of French cinema in the 1930s, she was discredited by her fraternization with the Nazis.
