Marie-Madeline Blouin, stage name Mademoiselle Dubois (1746–1779), was a French stage actress.[1]

She was engaged at the Comédie-Française in 1759. She became a Sociétaires of the Comédie-Française in 1761. She retired in 1773.

Mademoiselle Dubois often played the prestigious role of tragedienne. However, contemporary critics referred to her as a beautiful stage ornament with moderate talent whose fame was more attributed to her beauty and love affairs.
