Claudine is the protagonist of the early novels of the French author Colette, published under the name of her husband 'Willy'.

The Claudine novels are thought to be roughly autobiographical. It is also said that Willy forced Colette to write them by locking her in her room until she had produced the desired number of pages.

Whilst the stories were shocking in their time, this affectionate portrayal of a forthright and self-assured French girl who blossoms into a charismatic adult is nowadays more likely to be regarded as chastely sensual.
