Lauren Hutton (born November 17, 1943, in Charleston, South Carolina) is an American former model and occasional actress. She is best known for her starring roles in the movies American Gigolo and Once Bitten, and also for her fashion modeling career.

Hutton became one of the first students to attend the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida in 1960, but later she transferred to Tulane University, where she graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in 1964.

Hutton parlayed her looks into one of the major modeling careers of the 1970s and 80s, including the first huge contract by a model with a cosmetics company. As an actress, Hutton made her film debut in the Paper Lion (1968), and she won notices for her performances in James Toback's The Gambler (1974), opposite James Caan. She played the wealthy adventurous adulteress in American Gigolo (1980). Important roles in major films were relatively few, however, and her acting career diminished during the 1980s, with most of her appearances being in minor European features or American films that fizzled at the box office, such as Lassiter (1985), Once Bitten (1985), and Guilty as Charged (1992). Hutton's modeling career was revived in the 1990s, and more acting offers following suit.
