Ariadna Aleksandrovna Scriabina was a Russian poet and activist of the French Resistance, who co-founded the Zionist resistance group Armée Juive. During the German occupation of France, she was the organizer and active member of the Jewish resistance in the south of the country. She was killed in Toulouse by a milice agent shortly before the fall of the Vichy regime.

She was posthumously awarded the Croix de guerre and Médaille de la Résistance.
