Emma Fourreau (; born 1 October 1999) She attended Lycée Malherbe in Caen, earning her Baccalauréat Littéraire with a mention très bien in 2017. She then studied at Sciences Po Rennes.

Political career Fourreau was elected as an Member of the European Parliament (MEP) in the 2024 European elections. She was elected from the France constituency on the ballot of La France Insoumise–PG––REV–Péyi-A–PLR. Fourreau sits with The Left parliamentary group. Between 26 and 27 July, the IDF seized the ship, towed it to the Port of Ashdod, and detained the activists on board, vowing to deport them to their respective countries. Along with most of the detainees, she refused to sign deportation papers, and went on a hunger strike to protest Israel's illegal arrest of the crew and its starvation of Palestinians in Gaza; Cathala was expelled instead. On 29 July, Fourreau was transferred to the airport for deportation.

On 13 August 2025, Fourreau was briefly detained and interrogated by the judicial police of Caen for "apology of terrorism". She was questioned about the phrase "long live his fight" , which she had used the previous month in a tweet celebrating the release of Lebanese pro-Palestinian militant Georges Ibrahim Abdallah (a convicted terrorist). Fourreau, receiving solidarity from other LFI members, denounced the incident as an act of "political repression", contrasting the authorities' response to her tweet with their inaction over "dozens of tweets which actually constitute apology of the genocide taking place in Gaza".
