Violette Morris (18 April 1893 – 26 April 1944) was a French athlete who won two gold medals and one silver medal at the Women's World Games in 1921–1922.

She became a spy for Nazi Germany, which continued throughout World War II.

At the end of December 1935, Morris was recruited by the Sicherheitsdienst (Security Service), a wing of the infamous SS of Nazi Germany. She was invited to attend the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin at the personal behest of Adolf Hitler. Amongst the crimes that she was accused of committing was giving Germany partial plans of the Maginot Line, also detailed plans of strategic points within the city of Paris, and schematics of the French army's main tank, the Somua S35.

Her plans were allegedly integral to the German invasion of Paris in 1940. She apparently also benefited from the German occupation, often colluding with the local mob. She lived through the German occupation in a houseboat on the River Seine.

One of her main responsibilities during the war was to foil the operation of the Special Operations Executive, a British-run organisation that helped the resistance. For these activities, Morris was sentenced to death in absentia and was killed along a country road by members of a French resistance group on 26 April 1944, at the age of 51, while out driving with friends who were also collaborators.

Her body, riddled with bullets, was never claimed, and was buried in a communal grave.
