Corinne Pouton (born February 8, 1988) is an English actress and screenwriter. She rose to fame for her role as Rosie in the American sitcom The Big Bang Theory, which was her professional acting début, where she also wrote sporadic episodes for the series - another first for the actress. After her three season stint on the show, she wrote and starred in the critically acclaimed film Wonderwall, which won the Palme d'Or as well as being nominated for six Academy Awards, winning three.

After these two ventures, Pouton settled into indie films and screenwriting. Her other notable acting roles include Lily in High Council and Adelaide in the critically acclaimed film The Iron Curtain. Her role as Adelaide won Pouton her third Oscar overall, and her second for acting. She also starred as the titular character in the commercially successful Persephone. She made her directorial debut with the short film Eldrige, which won her another Academy Award.

Pouton's approach to acting has been declared, "borderline character" by some directors, due to the amount of time she spends dedicated to the roles. Pouton has stated her influences are Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Thompson. She is also notable for the selectiveness of her roles, with her stating that, "I want to perform my best in every film and sometimes I just can't attach to the character. I'm lucky that financially, I can afford to choose what I want to choose. I am lucky enough that I don't regret a single acting choice I've made."
