Valerie French (March 11th, 1928-November 3rd, 1990) was a British film actress and later stage actress beginning in the 1950's.

Born Valerie Harrison in London, England, French entered into film acting in her early 20's, with her first film appearance being in the 1954 film Maddalena. Her best remembered roles during this period were in western films such as Jubal in 1956 opposite Glen Ford, and Decision at Sundown opposite Randolph Scott in 1957.

She would make twenty six film and television series appearances from 1954 through the late 1960's, and would have a number of appearances on the soap opera One Life to Live. By the 1960's, however, most of her acting would be in stage productions, starring and appearing in both off and on Broadway productions well into the 1980's. She was residing in New York City at the time of her death from leukemia on November 3rd, 1990.
