Brianna Caitlin Hildebrand (born August 14, 1996 in College Station, Texas) is an American actress. Hildebrand is of German, Native American and Mexican ancestry.
She's best known for portraying the X-Men character Negasonic Teenage Warhead in the Deadpool films.

- Annie Undocumented (2014, web series) as Jen
- X-Men Film Series and Marvel Cinematic Universe as Ellie Phimister / Negasonic Teenage Warhead
- Deadpool (2016)
- Deadpool 2 (2018)

- The Time Capsule (2022) as Elise
Tropes applying to her works:
- Boyish Short Hair: Given she's had a pixie cut for years with a buzzcut previously, Hildebrand's characters do as well, which is fitting as they're generally lesbians and or tomboys. In only a couple roles have her characters had long hair.
- Queer Character, Queer Actor: All of the prominent characters she has played — Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Sadie (from Tragedy Girls), Verity (from The Exorcist), Sasha (from First Girl I Loved), Elodie (from Trinkets) and Rory (from Lucifer) — are into women or at least implied to be. She's queer, into men and women alike.
