Gia Darling is an American transgender adult film actress, director and producer, based in California and of Latina heritage. A tall blonde with brown eyes, about 170 cm (5 ft 7), she was one of the best-known trans performers of the 2000s.

She began in 1998 with the Beauty Queens series, which she also directed. From 2000 she led the long-running Heartbreakers series for Avalon Enterprises – 37 volumes up to 2009, most of them directed by Gia herself.
