Anne-Sophie Lapix (born 29 April 1972) is a French journalist, news anchor, and television presenter. She is best known for presenting the flagship 8 pm news program, Journal de 20 heures, on France 2 from September 2017 to June 2025. Lapix has been described as "regularly feared by the political sphere for her sometimes incisive tone in interviews and for her ability not to spare her interlocutors".
Lapix was born and grew up in Saint-Jean-de-Luz. She studied and graduated from Sciences Po Bordeaux and CFJ Paris, and also spent a year at the University of Bristol. Lapix worked for Bloomberg, TF1 Group's LCI, and M6, where she presented the news magazine Zone interdite, before joining the TF1 team, alongside Claire Chazal. She also presented the Sunday evening magazine program Sept à Huit with Harry Roselmack while at TF1. In 2008, Lapix began presenting the political television program Dimanche+ on Canal+, when her interviewing dexterity in this field became apparent. She presented C à vous on France 5 from 2013 to 2017.
Lapix was the face of France 2's Journal de 20 heures for eight years, until the end of June 2025. Starting in the fall of 2025, she will join the M6 channel to host Sunday interviews and cover major events. She will also join RTL, where she will replace Yves Calvi on the 6 pm to 8 pm news program. Lapix was made an Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters in 2020.
