Marie Félicie Vuillemin (14 May 1889 – 1963) was a Belgian individualist anarchist, known for her involvement with the Bonnot Gang. Born in Mons, she met the French anarchist Octave Garnier while working at an inn in Charleroi. Jointly suspected of robbing her workplace, they fled to Paris, where they joined a commune at the publishing house of the magazine L'Anarchie.
Their illegalist activities led to their involvement with the Bonnot Gang, with Garnier participating in numerous robberies and becoming a fugitive. Vuillemin was arrested on suspicion of participating, but was released due to a lack of evidence. Before long, she rejoined Garnier and other members of the Bonnot Gang in Nogent-sur-Marne, but their house was raided by police; Vuillemin was arrested and Garnier killed. Vuillemin was ultimately acquitted of all charges.
