Nancy Callahan is a fictional character from the graphic novel series Sin City, created by Frank Miller, based on "Dirty" Harry Callahan by Harry Julian Fink and R. M. Fink. She first appeared in "The Hard Goodbye" before becoming a more prominent character in later stories, most notably That Yellow Bastard.

Nancy is a stripper working at Kadie's Bar, a popular Basin City strip club populated by several key characters. She is depicted as a sensitive, strong willed, caring woman who occasionally becomes involved in the town's criminal underworld. Her full history is explained in That Yellow Bastard , in which she is rescued from Roark Junior by John Hartigan, and becomes a target of the corrupt Roark family.
