Raffaëla Anderson (born Malika Amrane, January 8, 1976, Montfermeil, France) is a French actress, author, and former adult film performer of Algerian Berber descent. Raised in a dysfunctional Muslim family in Parisian suburbs, she endured childhood sexual abuse, as recounted in her memoir Tendre Violence (2006). At age 18, she entered the French porn industry in 1994, starring in approximately 70 explicit films until retiring in 1998.

She lost her virginity on set and later exposed the industry's exploitation, violence, and risks in Hard (2001). During her career, she was raped by two fans; the case was dismissed by authorities. Anderson transitioned to mainstream cinema with her lead role as Manu in the controversial 2000 film Baise-moi, featuring unsimulated sex and sparking censorship debates.

She appeared in Un amour de femme (2001) and porn-critical documentaries. Post-retirement, she struggled with addiction and depression but now lives privately.
