Bernadette Isaac-Sibille (30 March 1930 – 2 January 2021) was a French politician.

Career

Isaac-Sibille was elected Mayor of the 5th arrondissement of Lyon in 1983. She served as a municipal councillor until her resignation in 1995. In 1999, she resigned from the Union for French Democracy to challenge Anne-Marie Comparini as President of the Regional council of Rhône-Alpes in place of Charles Millon. In the 2001 French municipal elections, she was defeated by Alexandrine Pesson by a margin of 50.73% to 49.27%.

In the 1985 French cantonal elections, Isaac-Sibille ran for the Canton of Lyon-V, defeating candidates from the Socialist Party and National Front. She was re-elected in 1992 and 1998.

Isaac-Sibille was elected to the National Assembly in 1988 to represent Rhône's 1st constituency, defeating the Socialist Party's Gérard Collomb. She was re-elected in 1993 with 70.65% of the vote. She defeated Collomb again in 1997. In 2002, Anne-Marie Comparini was chosen to represent the Union for French Democracy. Therefore, Isaac-Sibille represented the Miscellaneous right, but only received 12.10% of the vote in the first round. She refused to support Comparini, citing a "betrayal" in 1999.

In 2003, Isaac-Sibille became a member of the Commission de surveillance et de contrôle des publications destinées à l'enfance et à l'adolescence. She also served as president of the association for the Médaille de la Famille française.
