Une James Bond girl (prononcé en anglais /d͡ʒeɪmz bɒnd ɡɜːl/) ou simplement Bond girl est un personnage féminin qui a un lien affectif avec James Bond, que ce soit dans un film, un roman ou un jeu vidéo.
Par extension, on qualifie également de « James Bond girl » les comédiennes qui incarnent ces personnages.
Ces jeunes femmes au physique avenant sont souvent des espionnes, des victimes ou des criminelles rencontrées par 007 au cours de ses différentes missions. Elles entretiennent rapidement (à quelques exceptions près) une relation amoureuse et/ou sexuelle avec Bond.
Toutes les femmes croisées par Bond ne font pas partie du « club » : par exemple, « M » au féminin et Miss Moneypenny ne sont usuellement pas considérées comme des James Bond girls.
