Aurelie Le Vern is a French Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, born in 1991 in Aix-en-Provence. She came to the sport late, starting judo and then jiu-jitsu in French Guiana while working as a physical education teacher, and she earned every belt from her coach Tyrone Gonsalves. As a coloured belt she won IBJJF world titles at blue, purple and brown belt along with European Open and Pan titles. She received her black belt in January 2023 and took bronze at both the 2023 Pan Championship and the 2023 World Jiu-Jitsu Championship. She also won gold at the ADCC European trials in 2024 and, in December 2025, submitted Raquel Canuto with a kimura to become the first UFC BJJ women's featherweight champion.
