Julia Sarah Stone (born November 24, 1997) is a Canadian actress. She began studying theater at the age of six, and appeared in a number of school productions over the following years. After posting an audition on Facebook, Stone was cast in a series of independent short films, beginning with the 2009 feature A Brush of Red. Her breakthrough role came in 2011, when she appeared in The Year Dolly Parton Was My Mom, for which she won a Young Artist Award. Afterward, Stone was cast in the pilot episode of The CW series Emily Owens, M.D., the third season of AMC's The Killing, and a number of Canadian-produced dramatic films.

Stone's performances have won recognition from numerous media outlets, including Nylon magazine and The Huffington Post. In 2016, she was cast as Dana Copeland in the disaster series Aftermath. She later won the role of Eva, opposite Evan Rachel Wood, in the 2017 dramatic film A Worthy Companion.

Stone began performing at the age of six, appearing in plays at elementary school. She developed an interest in professional acting three years later, a pursuit which her parents approved of, but briefly delayed. In an interview with the National Post, Stone's mother stated, "It felt like it was important for Julia to spend another year becoming her before throwing herself into becoming other people." Following a number of roles in school-produced films, Stone sought an agent, and posted an audition on Facebook. Afterward, she began winning small parts in various independent features. Her first screen role was in the 2009 survival-horror short A Brush of Red, in which she played an unnamed character.
