Geneviève Lantelme (1883-1911) est une actrice française, une célébrité, une icône de la mode et une courtisane du début du XXe siècle. Considérée par ses contemporains comme une des plus belles femmes de la Belle Époque, sa disparition précoce et mystérieuse à 24 ans contribua à sa légende.

Geneviève Lantelme (1883-1911) was a French stage actress, socialite, fashion icon, and courtesan.
