Claudine Auger (b April 26, 1942 as as Claudine Oger) was a former Miss France and actress during the 1960s and onwards. Her most famous role was as Bond girl Dominique “Domino” Derval in the James Bond film Thunderball. The role of Domino was originally to be an Italian woman: Dominetta Palazzi. Auger impressed the producers so much that they re-wrote the part to that of a French woman to better suit Auger. Her voice is dubbed in the film.

She earned the title of Miss France Monde and was also the first runner-up in the 1958 Miss World contest. She made her film debut when she was still at school. Jean Cocteau cast her in an uncredited role as a tall ballerina in The Testament of Orpheus (1960). Thunderball launched Auger into a successful European film career, but did little for her otherwise in the United States. In 1971, she starred with two other Bond girls, Barbara Bach and Barbara Bouchet in Black Belly of the Tarantula, a giallo mystery.

Auger was also the first runner-up in the 1958 Miss World contest.
