Nancy Wake (Wellington, 30 août 1912 – Londres, 7 août 2011), surnommée « la Souris Blanche », également connue par ses mariages sous les noms de Nancy Fiocca et de Nancy Forward, est une figure australienne de la Résistance en France, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. D'abord active dans le réseau d'évasion Pat O'Leary, elle fut ensuite recrutée comme agent du Special Operations Executive et envoyée en France en 1944 comme courrier du réseau FREELANCE de John Hind Farmer « Hubert », qui se distingua en Auvergne.
Nancy Wake était une « dure » ; elle est aussi une vraie aventurière. Femme passionnée, elle est une vraie francophile. Extrêmement courageuse, elle est une femme engagée, prête à risquer sa vie et même à la perdre pour la liberté. Un téléfilm anglais de 1988 porte son nom et raconte son histoire.
État civil : Nancy Grace Augusta Wake ; épouse 1) Fiocca, 2) Forward.
