Pierre Niney (born March 13, 1989, in Paris, France) is a French actor best known for his role in the biographical film Yves Saint Laurent, directed by Jalil Lespert.

The son of documentary film professor François Niney, Pierre developed a passion for theater at an early age, inspired by his father. He grew up in the 14th arrondissement of Paris and first performed on stage at age 11. Pierre graduated with a theater specialty from Lycée Claude Monet and later studied at Cours Florent and the National Conservatory of Dramatic Arts in Paris.

In 2010, at just 21, he became the youngest actor in the Comédie-Française troupe but left in 2015. That same year, Niney won a César Award for his portrayal of Yves Saint Laurent, beating Gaspard Ulliel. In 2017, the two competed again, with Ulliel taking the award.

In 2023, it was announced that Pierre would star in a Netflix comedy series Fiasco, which he also created. Since 2008, Pierre has been in a relationship with actress and photographer Natasha Andrews, and they have two daughters.
