Dominique Vien (born February 10, 1967)[1] is a Canadian politician, who served as Member of the National Assembly for the electoral district of Bellechasse from 2003 to 2007. She was defeated in the 2007 election by Jean Domingue of the Action démocratique du Québec, but was then re-elected in the same district in 2008. She was a member of the Quebec Liberal Party and was the delegate minister for Health and Social Services, previously the Minister for Government Services.

Born in Lévis, Quebec, Vien studied at Université Laval and received a bachelor's degree in communications in 1992. She also studied at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières in training, animation and leadership in 2001.[1] From 1992 to 2003, she was a journalist, anchor and host at a radio station in Lac-Etchemin and was a journalist and news anchor at Radio-Canada's CBV-FM in Quebec City from 1999 to 2001.
