Thuy Thu Le (born 1966/1967) is an American actress.

Biography
Le was born in Saigon, South Vietnam, in 1966 or 1967. She fled to the United States with her father and two older brothers during the Fall of Saigon in 1975. Her mother arrived in the US in 1979; however, they weren't reunited until 1985. Le speaks Vietnamese, English, and French. She majored in English at the University of Paris.

Le gave her only acting performance in Brian De Palma's 1989 war drama film Casualties of War. In the film, she played two roles: a Vietnamese peasant girl who was kidnapped, raped, and murdered by a group of American soldiers (her character was based on real-life victim Phan Thi Mao); and an Asian student whom Private First Class Max Eriksson (Michael J. Fox) meets years after the incident aboard a transit line in San Francisco. Le has stated that she auditioned for the part because De Palma's The Untouchables (1987) is one of her favorite films.

Le is married to a Vietnamese-French medical student. She lives in Paris with her family.
