Leslie Louise Bibb (born November 17, 1974) is an American actress and model. Bibb transitioned into film and television during the late 1990s. She played minor roles in a few television series before making her film debut in the Howard Stern biopic Private Parts. She scored her first recurring role in the TV show The Big Easy, followed by a film role in This Space Between Us.

Bibb's role as Brooke McQueen on the WB Network dramedy series Popular (1999–2001) brought her to the attention of a wider audience; she received a Teen Choice Award for Television Choice Actress for the role. During breaks in filming the series, she also played notable roles in the films The Skulls and See Spot Run. She had a recurring role in ER, Line of Fire, Crossing Jordan, and the lead in GCB. Bibb appeared as Carley Bobby in the Will Ferrell comedy film Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, followed by supporting roles in the films Iron Man, Law Abiding Citizen and Zookeeper.

Bibb was born in Bismarck, North Dakota, and raised in Nelson County, Virginia. Her father died three years after she was born. Bibb subsequently moved to Richmond, Virginia, with her widowed mother and three older sisters, where she attended the all-girl Saint Gertrude High School. In 1990, The Oprah Winfrey Show and the Elite Agency held a nationwide modeling search. The celebrity judges, John Casablancas, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, and Iman chose Bibb as the winner. After finishing her junior year, Bibb flew to New York City to sign a contract with Elite Agency and modeled over that summer and went on a trip to Japan. Bibb returned to America for her senior year and graduated in 1991. Bibb later decided to attend the University of Virginia. After a single semester, however, Bibb abandoned her studies and moved to New York City to pursue her full-time modeling career. Bibb's modeling photographs have appeared in the magazines Maxim and FHM. She also attended the William Esper acting studio for three years.
