Denise Perrier (born 1935) is a French model and actress who won Miss World 1953. She now goes by "Denise Perrier Lanfranchi."

Perrier was crowned Miss France World 1953 by Miss France World 1952, Nicole Drouin. She represents France in Miss World 1953 pageant.

Perrier has done little acting. Her most memorable scene is an uncredited appearance in the 1971 James Bond movie, Diamonds Are Forever.
