Henriette-Hélène de Beauvoir (6 June 1910 – 1 July 2001) was a French painter.
The younger sister of philosopher Simone de Beauvoir, her art was exhibited in Europe, Japan, and the US. She married Lionel de Roulet.
When Hélène de Beauvoir lived in Goxwiller, a village near Strasbourg, she became president of the centre for women who were the victims of physical abuse. Most of her artworks were born out of feminist philosophies - She continued painting until she was 85.
