Christine Roux (c. 1820 - December 3, 1863) was a French courtesan, artist's model and actress in the 19th century.

Art historian Helmut Gernsheim claimed Nadar's nude photo of Roux inspired the female figure in Ingres' 1856 painting La Source, alleging Ingres sent Roux to Nadar for studies that year.

Some sources suggest Roux may have previously modeled for Gérôme, providing the face of the Greek girl in his 1846 work The Cockfight.

[7][8] In 1863, Christine Roux died in the shipwreck of the steamship Atlas headed to Algiers.

[9] In the Forest of Fontainebleau near Mare aux Fées, Claude-François Denecourt nicknamed a hornbeam tree "Musette" as a tribute to Murger's literary character based on Roux.
