Marie-Luce Felber is a Swiss actress and creative artist best known for her expressive performances in independent European cinema during the 1980s and early 1990s. She gained significant international recognition for her role as Lucie in the 1985 drama No Man's Land, directed by the renowned Swiss filmmaker Alain Tanner.

Born in Switzerland, she grew up as the daughter of a prominent Swiss politician, Jean-Pascal Delamuraz, who served as a Federal Councilor and President of the Swiss Confederation. In her professional life, she chose to use the name Marie-Luce Felber rather than her birth name to establish an independent identity in the arts, though she has occasionally noted that her family background sometimes created a complex dynamic within the subsidized Swiss film industry.

Her filmography is defined by collaborations with influential directors of the "New Swiss Film" and French "Auteur" cinema. In addition to her standout performance in No Man's Land, she appeared in Jacques Doillon's The Temptation of Isabelle (La tentation d'Isabelle, 1985) and worked with Francis Reusser in La loi sauvage (1988). Her career also includes television work such as the mini-series La vierge noire (1990). Beyond acting, Felber has also been involved behind the scenes as a writer and director.
