Vivienne is a fictional character from BioWare's Dragon Age franchise, first appearing as a party member in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Within the series, she is the official enchanter to the Imperial Court of the Orlesian Empire who achieved her position through political savvy. She presents herself to the Inquisition as a representative of the Orlesian Court and a self-styled leader among the mage community of Thedas, the world setting of the Dragon Age series, who supports the status quo of cloistering magic users into supervised training facilities known as the Circles of Magi. The character was featured prominently in promotional material and advertisements released by Bioware's parent company EA leading up to the release of Inquisition. She is voiced by British actress Indira Varma.

Vivienne's characterization has been mostly well received for its complexity and nuance, and has appeared in a number of "top" character lists. The character has also attracted commentary as a prominent female video game character of color.

Vivienne is the mistress of a nobleman from the nation of Orlais, Duke Bastien de Ghyslain, and is recognized as the official enchanter to the Orlesian Imperial Court prior to the events of Inquisition. She is a member of the Circle of Magi organization, which is under the authority of the Chantry, a monotheistic religion who worship a deity known as the Maker and venerates the prophet Andraste, which mandates that "magic must serve man, not rule over him". Before a series of events that leads to the disbandment of the Circles of Magi and the opening of the Breach, she was in line to become the First Enchanter of the Montsimmard Circle in Orlais. Vivienne has very specific views on the roles of the Chantry and the Circles of Magi, and that her motivations for joining the Inquisition to bring peace back into the world are very much ulterior.

Vivienne is often referred to as Madame de Fer, a sobriquet in the Orlesian language (analogous to the real world French language) meaning "the Lady of Iron", which alludes to her reputation as a fearsome and uncompromising woman. She has been described as "a beautiful, stone-cold, unfriendly snob", who possesses a "gloriously sardonic" wit, and is also known for her penchant for extravagance and high fashion. She has little tolerance for irreverent behavior by other characters such as Sera, has no sympathy for other mages who attempt to involve her in their rebellion against the Chantry, and a politically ambitious operator who ignores all criticisms of her character as she is determined to attain the position and status she desires.

Vivienne has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
