Annabella (14 July 1909 – 18 September 1996) was a French cinema actress who achieved her greatest success in French cinema, but who also achieved some success in Hollywood films of the late 1930s.

Born Suzanne Georgette Charpentier in La Varenne Saint Hilaire, Val-de-Marne, France, Annabella made her film debut in 1927 and over the following decade established herself as one of France's most popular cinema actresses. In 1936 she won the Volpi Cup for Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival for Veille d'armes (1935).

She was cast as the female lead in the British-made film Wings of the Morning (1937) opposite Henry Fonda, and her success in this role led her to other ventures in Hollywood. She appeared in Suez (1938) with Loretta Young and Tyrone Power. Her romance with Power was widely reported by movie magazines of the day, and in 1939 she and Power were married. They divorced in 1948. He adopted her child, Anne, who later married actor Oskar Werner.

During the 1940s her career began to wane, although she achieved a notable success with 13 Rue Madeleine (1947) with James Cagney. In later life she made few acting appearances, and made her final film in 1971.

She died from a heart attack at Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, aged 87, and was interred in Passy Cemetery.
