Karina Lombard (born January 21, 1969) is a French-Native American actress and singer. She is perhaps best known for her role as Marina Ferrer on the Showtime series The L Word, The 4400, Geneviève in Rescue Me, and Isabelle Two in Legends of the Fall.

Karina Lombard was born in Tahiti, the youngest of five. Her four older siblings are named Helene, Ines, Charles and Denise. Her mother, Nupuree Lightfoot, is a Lakota Native American medicine woman. Her father, Henri Lombard, is of Swiss-Russian and Italian descent. She lived all over Europe such as in Spain for a period of time with her father and siblings. Spanish was her first language. Lombard stated, "I was in and out of Switzerland. We moved around a lot, but I did most of my schooling in Switzerland."

Lombard attended multiple boarding schools and is proficient in Spanish, English, Italian, French and German. She moved to New York City at the age of 18 and began modeling and acting.

Lombard's major break in modeling was a Calvin Klein photo shoot with a Native American theme. One of her photographs was chosen for a billboard. Her photographs appeared in Elle and Vogue.
