Hannah Dakota Fanning (born February 23, 1994) is an American actress.

As an adult, Fanning went on to star in independent films, such as The Runaways (2010), Now Is Good (2012) and Effie Gray (2014), and played Jane Volturi in The Twilight Saga (2009–2012). In 2018, she appeared in the heist comedy Ocean's 8 and had a starring role in the period drama series The Alienist. She has since portrayed Squeaky Fromme in Quentin Tarantino's film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019), Susan Ford in the drama series The First Lady (2022), and a CIA agent in The Equalizer 3 (2023). In 2024, she starred in the horror film The Watchers and in the thriller miniseries The Perfect Couple and Ripley.
