Marie-France Stirbois (born Marie-France Charles on 11 November 1944 in Paris, died 17 April 2006 in Nice of cancer) was a French National Front politician, representing Dreux from 1989 to 1993, and a Member of the European Parliament from 1994 to 1999 and from 2003 to 2004.
An old militant of the National Front, Marie-France Stirbois marked French political life by achieving (with her husband Jean-Pierre Stirbois) the first electoral success of the French National Front in 1983 in Dreux. Between 1989 and 1993, she was the only National Front member to sit on the National Assembly, after the Yann Piat camp had defected.
She is buried in Montparnasse Cemetery in Paris.
Youngest of four daughters in the Charles family, Marie-France's father was manager of a refrigeration warehouse and canning factory. Her mother was a housewife. Both were ardent Gaullists until 1962. Her mother received the Croix de Guerre with palms, having been imprisoned by the Germans, and her two sisters were pillars of the resistance until the end of the war. In the 1950s, the Charles family moved to Dreux in Eure-et-Loir.
The young Marie-France's first political commitment was during the Algerian War; she opposed independence for Algeria. In 1964 she was active in the Jean-Louis Tixier-Vignancour campaign, an extreme right candidate in the French presidential election, 1965. It was at this time that she met her future husband, Jean-Pierre Stirbois. She moved closer to the Occident movement.
