Morgane Dubled (born July 1, 1984 in Nice, Côte d'Azur, France), is a French supermodel.

Morgane was first scouted at the age of 16 but declined the offer, at the time preferring studies. After getting her Baccalauréat (scientific section) she attended Faculté de Médecine de Nice (medical school)^[1] but after one year changed direction and moved to Paris for a year in Hypokhâgne preparing the École Normale Supérieure. She starts modeling as a part time job to pay for her studies, but soon her interest in the modeling world rises and she decided to do it full time^[2].

Since her first catwalk season (Ready-to-wear Fall/Winter 2004) she has become one of the most on-demand models on the runway, featured in the most prestigious fashion shows in Milan, Paris and New York : Armani, Calvin Klein, Chanel, Christian Lacroix, Dolce&Gabbana, Dior, Elie Saab, Emanuel Ungaro, Fendi, Gucci, Hermes, Jean-Paul Gaultier, John Galliano, Lacoste, Lanvin, Kenzo, Marc Jacobs, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Nina Ricci, Ralf Lauren, Sonia Rykiel, Stella McCartney, Versace, Viktor & Rolf amongst others.

She did editorial work with several well renowned photographers : Terry Richardson, Craig McDean, Mark Abrahams, John Akehurst, Eric Maillet, David Sims. She also graced the cover of the Russian Vogue and did campaign work for Dior & Jean-Paul Gaultier.

Although she is widely considered as "high fashion" for her ethereal looks, laid back attitude and tired eyes (she is sometimes nicknamed "sleep walker" in the fashion industry) her extremely well defined and toned body allows her to excel in swimsuit and lingerie work. She participated in the 2005 & 2006 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

She is currently dating Norwegian male model Christoffer Fagerli.
