She was found in the rubble of a school which one of her relatives said she had just started attending. Her rescue comes five days after the Haitian government officially ended the search and rescue operation.
At least 130 people have been pulled alive from the rubble in the days that followed the earthquake.
The girl, who has not been named, was found in the rubble of a school which one of her relatives said she had just started attending.
The girl was 16 years old, according to Agence France-Presse.
"She just said 'Thank you', she's very weak, which suggests that she's been there for 15 days," said Samuel Bernes, the head of the rescue team that discovered her.
He described her location within the rubble as "in a pocket, surrounded by concrete".
