Octavia St. Laurent Mizrahi (March 16, 1964 – May 17, 2009) was an American model and AIDS educator who was active in New York City's Black and Latino ballroom community and Harlem's luxurious balls.

They were born producing more estrogen than most people assigned male at birth.
St. Laurent said that growing up, their parents were accepting: "I had wonderful parents that supported me. My sexuality was not an issue with my parents. They were accustomed to that since I was a child. People thought I looked like a little girl, and my mother said: 'This is a boy!
St. Laurent experienced police harassment and was arrested on several occasions for wearing gender-nonconforming clothing in public.
St. Laurent was diagnosed as HIV positive, and would later serve as an educator to spread awareness about the disease.
During their appearance in Wolfgang Busch's LGBT documentary How Do I Look, St. Laurent further discussed their drug use, sex work, and fight with AIDS.
St. Laurent began walking in the New York ballroom scene in 1982 and acknowledged that their favourite category to walk in was Face.
One of the most common songs she would walk to was "Swept Away" by Diana Ross.

She was a central figure of the 1990 documentary Paris Is Burning and had a small role in 1993's The Saint of Fort Washington.
In 2006, they starred in Wolfgang Busch's How Do I Look, dubbed as "the sequel to Paris is Burning", and was using the name Heavenly Angel Octavia St Laurent Manolo Blahnik.
In 2008, St. Laurent was diagnosed with cancer.

St. Laurent's appearance in Paris Is Burning was cited in Judith Butler's book Bodies That Matter in "Gender is Burning".
St. Laurent was posthumously quoted in the television series credits of Pose, Season 2, Episode 4: "Never Knew Love Like This Before", written by Ryan Murphy and Janet Mock, with the following: "Gays have rights, lesbians have rights, men have rights, women have rights, even animals have rights. How many of us have to die before the community recognizes that we are not expendable?"
