Catherine Demongeot (born 16 May 1950, in Paris) is a French former child actress. Her debut role was Zazie in Zazie dans le Métro (1960); this was followed by only a few more films. According to an interview with Vincent Malle (film producer, and brother of Louis Malle) for the UK DVD release of Zazie (2006, Optimum Releasing), Demongeot never made another film and later went on to become a teacher.

Although Vladimir Nabokov originally thought that Sue Lyon was the right selection to play Lolita in Stanley Kubrick's film of that name, years later Nabokov said that the ideal Lolita would have been Demongeot.
