Blessé is a French adjective and noun meaning wounded or injured. When used as an adjective, blessé describes someone who has suffered physical harm, for example in accidents, violence, or combat. The feminine form is blessée; the plural forms are blessés (masculine or mixed) and blessées (feminine).

As a noun, le blessé refers to a person who has been wounded or injured; la blessée is the feminine form. The term is common in medical, military, police, and sports contexts, including triage, casualty reports, and news coverage. Phrases such as un blessé grave or les blessés légers are typical.

Blessé is closely linked to the noun blessure (injury) and the verb blesser (to wound, injure). The related expression être blessé means to be wounded. The use can be literal (physical harm) or figurative (to be emotionally or morally hurt).

Examples include: Plusieurs joueurs ont été blessés pendant le match; Le blessé a été transporté à l'hôpital. In broader usage, the term appears in reporting, medical records, and discourse describing harm or suffering, with modifiers indicating severity such as grave, léger, ou critique.
