Ninon Dubois Le Clerc or Ninon Leclaire (1750 in France - 4 May 1779, Stockholm), was a French ballerina and courtesan. She was a member of the Royal Swedish Ballet and regarded as one of the stars of the royal ballet during her carer there. As a courtesan she was known for her relationship with the Russian ambassador Ivan Simolin and the poet Johan Henric Kellgren, who wrote a poem in lamentation over her death in consumption.
