Jeanne Benoit (pronounced "zhan ben-wah") is a fictional character on the TV show NCIS played by Scottie Thompson.

Introduced in the fourth season as Tony DiNozzo's new girlfriend. She is a doctor at a nearby hospital. Tony is trying to make his relationship with her a success recently telling her "I love you" and his personality has shown marked improvement as a result of the relationship.

Benoit was previously engaged to Metro Police Detective John Carson. She called off the engagement when she found out he had cheated on her with her best friend.

Some people believe Tony's relationship with her to be related to the La Grenouille assignment and cite evidence such as her French name and his reluctance to say 'I love you'. However, these suspicions have not been completely confirmed or rebuked.
