Isabelle Olivieri, born on March 9, 1957 at Montoire-sur-le-Loir and died on December 10, 2016 at Montpellier, was a French biologist, specialized in evolution and more particularly in genetics and Population biology. She developed an approach for mathematical modeling of demographic and evolutionary processes, evolutionary interpretations based on molecular phylogenetics, the evolutionary biology of invasions, of the biodiversity conservation, life cycles, and speciation.
