Anggun Cipta Sasmi ({{IPA|id|aŋˈɡun ˈtʃipta ˈsasmi}}; (born 29 April 1974), known mononymously as Anggun, is an Indonesian-French singer, songwriter, and television personality. Born in Jakarta, she began performing at the age of seven and recorded a children's album two years later. She rose to fame in 1989 as a teenage rock star and by 1993 she had released five Indonesian-language studio albums and a soundtrack album to the Indonesian film Si Roy (1989). Rolling Stone listed her single "Mimpi" as one of the 150 Greatest Indonesian Songs of All Time.{{cite magazine |title=150 Lagu Indonesia Terbaik Sepanjang Masa |edition=56 |magazine=Rolling Stone |year=2009}}

Anggun left Indonesia for England in 1994 to pursue an international career. She later moved to France and recorded her first international album, Snow on the Sahara (1997). It was released in 33 countries by Sony Music and sold more than one million copies worldwide. Since then, Anggun has released another six studio albums—in English and French—and a soundtrack album to the Danish film Open Hearts (2002). Her singles "Snow on the Sahara", "What We Remember", "The Good Is Back", and "Perfect World" entered the Billboard charts in the United States while "In Your Mind", "Saviour" and "I'll Be Alright" charted on the Billboard European Hot 100 Singles. She represented France in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012, with the song "Echo (You and I)".

Anggun ventured into television, becoming the judge for the Indonesian versions of The X Factor (2013), Got Talent (2014), and The Voice (2018); the pancontinental Asia's Got Talent (2015–2019); the French version of Masked Singer (2019–2022); and the Belgian version of StarMaker (2023). She was the leading actress in musical theater show Al Capone (2023) and played supporting roles in the film Coup de foudre à Bangkok (2020) and TV series Profession Comédien (2021). Aside from her career in entertainment, Anggun has been appointed as the global ambassador of the United Nations twice, first for the International Year of Microcredit in 2005 and then for the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 2009.

Anggun is one of the best-selling Asian artists outside Asia, with her releases certified gold and platinum in some European countries. She is the first Indonesian artist to have success in European and American record charts. She has received accolades for her achievements, including the Chevalier des Arts et Lettres from the Government of France, the World Music Award for World's Best-Selling Indonesian Artist, and the Asian Television Award for Outstanding Contribution to Asian Television Performing Arts.

She states that she does not have a rigid point of view about religion and tends to Buddhism without breaking with religious belief. She makes it a requirement to admit religious toleration and insists on a separation of religious faith from the basic regulative principle for the individual:

For me, the most important thing is not what religion you believe in but how you do things, how you live your life.{{Cite web |last=Lo |first=Ricky |date=23 April 2001 |title=Anggun: 'The Grace Created in a Dream' |url=https://www.philstar.com/entertainment/2001/04/23/86200/anggun-145the-grace-created-dream146 |access-date=10 January 2019 |website=The Philippine Star}}
