Jeanne-Mance Delisle (born June 24, 1941; some sources say 1939) is a Quebec writer.[1]

The daughter of Rollande Fiset and Sebastien Delisle,[1] she was born in Barraute and grew up in the Abitibi region of Quebec.[2] She was a member of Théâtre de Coppe and the Centre dramatique de Rouyn.[3] Her first play Un "reel" ben beau, ben triste was awarded the Prix littéraire Abitibi-Témiscamingue. She received the Governor General's Award for French-language drama in 1987 for Un oiseau vivant dans la gueule; the play was later translated into English as A live bird in its jaws. Delisle has written for both the theatre and television.[4]
