Monica de Sousa (Portuguese: Mônica) is a Brazilian fictional character and Mauricio de Sousa's best-known creation. Introduced in 1960, she serves as the main protagonist and title character of the Monica and Friends (Turma da Mônica) comic book series and media franchise.

Mauricio based the character on his second daughter, also named Monica, with whom the fictional character shares some physical characteristics. In her first appearances, she was a supporting character to Jimmy Five, but was gradually made the main character. An eponymous comic book series began publication from 1970.
