Camélia Jordana Riad-Aliouane (born 15 September 1992) is a French pop singer and actress. She rose to fame after participating in the television show Nouvelle Star, the French version of Pop Idol, in 2009, where she came in third.

She finished in third place. After her elimination, she signed a record deal with Sony Music and released her eponymous debut album on 29 March 2010. It sold 10,169 copies in its first week and managed to enter the French SNEP Album Chart at #9.
Although Jordana's debut single Non Non Non (Écouter Barbara) was only released as download single in France, it peaked at #3 on the French digital chart. It also charted at #3 in Belgium and #48 in Switzerland.
