'''Fiona Volpe''', played by [[Luciana Paluzzi]], is a fictional character in the 1965 [[James Bond]] film ''[[Thunderball (film)|Thunderball]]''. The character is a creation of the film-makers, an addition to [[Thunderball (novel)|Ian Fleming's original plot]]. 'Volpe' is Italian for fox; the character and the red-haired actress are Italian.

==In the film==
A deadly [[assassination|assassin]] in [[SPECTRE]]'s execution branch, Volpe assumes the role of [[NATO]] pilot Major Francois Derval’s mistress in the operation to steal the [[Avro Vulcan|Vulcan]] and its precious cargo of two [[atomic bomb]]s, which SPECTRE plans to use to [[blackmail]] the world.

She organises Derval’s murder and is also called upon to kill [[List of James Bond henchmen in Thunderball#Count Lippe|Count Lippe]] (while he is pursuing Bond and attempting to shoot him), after he fails to acknowledge his employee Angelo's greed. She does so by destroying Lippe's car, with a missile launcher built into her [[Birmingham Small Arms Company|BSA]] motorcycle. Volpe is later seen pushing the motorcycle into a pond, presumably to hide the evidence because she realises Bond has observed the murder.
