- André René Roussimoff (* 19. Mai 1946 in Coulommiers, Seine-et-Marne, Frankreich †27. Januar 1993 in Paris), besser bekannt als André the Giant, war ein französischer Wrestler und Schauspieler bulgarisch-polnischer Abstammung. Roussimoff litt an den Wachstumskrankheiten Hypersomie und Akromegalie, welche ihn sehr groß werden ließen und eine sehr massige Konstitution bedingten. Aufgrund dieses hünenhaften Erscheinungsbildes, wurde er auch „Das achte Weltwunder“ genannt und war in den 1970er und beginnenden 1980er Jahren der erfolgreichste Star des Wrestlinggeschäfts. Die gleiche Krankheit bedingte allerdings auch Roussimoffs relativ frühes Ableben. Er wurde 1993 posthum als das erste Mitglied in die WWE Hall of Fame eingeführt.
