Marjane Satrapi (French: [maʁʒan satʁapi]; Persian: مرجان ساتراپی, [mæɾˈdʒɒːn(e) sɒːtɾɒːˈpiː]; 22 November 1969 – June 2026) was a French and Iranian graphic novelist, film director, and children's book author. Her best-known works include the graphic novel Persepolis and its film adaptation; the graphic novel Chicken with Plums; Woman, Life, Freedom; and the Marie Curie biopic Radioactive.
The success of Persepolis established Satrapi as one of the most widely read Iranian authors in the world, and her role in co-directing the film led to Satrapi becoming the first woman to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
