Aurélie Claudel (born August 7, 1980 in Saint-Mars-d'Outillé, France) is a French model. She is one of three children and has two brothers. She comes from a relatively prominent family (her father was a distinguished notary). She is a descendant of the famous French sculptress Camille Claudel.^{citation needed}

She was approached in the Jardin des Plantes in Paris by Dawn Wolfe at the age of 13. Her father thoroughly disapproved of her quitting school and pursuing a career in modeling but she did it nonetheless. She has made appearances in Cosmopolitan, Vogue, Allure, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, Marie Claire, and perhaps most notably, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and Victoria's Secret catalogs. Her campaigns include Bloomingdales, Armani Exchange, Calvin Klein, J. Crew, Nautica, Oscar de la Renta, and Tommy Hilfiger, among others.

She has walked for Gucci, Chanel, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Nina Ricci, and Victoria's Secret.

Claudel appeared as "The Pregnant Model" in an editorial for the April 2006 edition of US Vogue, called "The Shape Issue".

She also loves music and is a huge Michael Jacksonfan.
