Marie-Caroline Le Pen (born 23 January 1960) is a French politician and member of the Le Pen family.

The eldest of the three daughters of Jean-Marie Le Pen and his first wife Pierrette Lalanne, she became involved in the National Front (FN) in her youth. She was regional councilor for Île-de-France from 1992 to 2004. ^[1]

When the FN split in 1998, she followed Bruno Mégret to the National Republican Movement (MNR) with her husband, Philippe Olivier. After a break up with her family, she became closer to her sister Marine Le Pen in the end of the 2000s, finally returning to the FN in 2016. She was re-elected to the Île-de-France regional council in 2021. ^[2]

In the 2024 legislative elections, Marie-Caroline Le Pen stood in the fourth constituency of Sarthe, the former constituency of François Fillon, who was Prime Minister of France between 2007 and 2012. ^[3] She lost to Élise Leboucher by 225 votes. ^[4]
