Christine Ockrent (born 24 April 1944) is a Belgian journalist whose career has principally centered on French television.


She interviewed Amir Abbas Hoveyda, the former Iranian prime minister, in Evin prison after the Islamic revolution in 1979. It was the last interview with Hoveyda before his execution.


Ockrent was born in Brussels, Belgium, daughter of Belgian diplomat Roger Ockrent. She attended the Cours Hattemer, a private school in Paris. She graduated from the Institut d'Études Politiques de Paris (Sciences Po) in 1965.

For over a decade she presented France Europe Express, a TV show about European issues. She is a fervent supporter of a united Europe, she proved so by signing the Soros letter for a federal answer to the crisis of the euro.


Ockrent held the number two post at the Société de l'audiovisuel extérieur de la France, until she was relieved in May 2011. She refused to resign, saying that she had had to endure "nine months of manoeuvres that have sullied my honour and reputation".
