Jorja-An Fox (born July 7, 1968, in New York, New York), is an American actress. She is perhaps best known for her work as Sara Sidle in the hit CBS crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and for starring in two other successful television dramas, ER, and The West Wing.

Fox is the younger of two children born to Montreal-born parents, and was raised on a narrow barrier island in Melbourne Beach, Florida. She describes herself as being overweight while growing up, with a prominent gap between her teeth. By her twenties, neither her wisdom teeth nor braces had appreciably helped, and Fox said "forget it."

After attending Melbourne High School for two years, she began a modeling career after winning a local contest. She subsequently enrolled as a drama student at the Lee Strasberg Institute in New York, under the tutelage of actor William Hickey.

Fox currently resides in Los Angeles. Her friends include Emily Procter, whom she persuaded to join CSI: Miami.

Her name is pronounced as "Georgia". She is most often credited as Jorja Fox, but has also been credited as "Jorjan Fox."

In 2001, Jorja claimed to be "Involved, but not married." However by 2003, she was again single.
