Suzanne Balkanyi (14 March 1922 – 7 April 2005) was a French-Hungarian artist, known particularly for her humorous etchings of Paris street scenes.

After narrowly escaping transportation to Auschwitz in 1944, she left Hungary in 1947 to live in Paris, where she worked until her death.

One of four daughters of a liberal intellectual Hungarian family, Suzanne Balkanyi was born in Budapest in 1922, and studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris.

Later travels took her to Italy (Perugia, Venice and Siena), the Netherlands, Spain (Toledo), Israel, Morocco and Senegal.

Balkanyi illustrated a number of books including Francis Ambiére’s Le Bon Marché[13] and Brussac Philippe and Pierre Mac Orlan’s La Légion Étrangère[14] .
