Céline Lomez (born 11 May 1953) is a Canadian actress and singer.

Lomez started her show business career singing French-Canadian pop songs with her sister Liette, and the two gained popularity after their performance at the Festival du Disque in Quebec in 1968.{{Cite web|url=http://www.northernstars.ca/actorsjkl/lomez.html|title=Céline Lomez - Northern Stars|date=16 April 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070416063258/http://www.northernstars.ca/actorsjkl/lomez.html|access-date=9 January 2022|archive-date=16 April 2007}} Liette went on to join a trio called Toulouse. Lomez, however, was soon offered a role in the Denis Héroux film Here and Now (L'Initiation, 1970). She was only 15 years old at the time.

She has also released two albums. One of her main hit songs was "L'amour dans les rangs de coton" (1974), a Louisiana zydeco-style ballad.

She went on to play Christopher Plummer's ill-fated girlfriend in the thriller The Silent Partner in 1978. She was originally set to star as Brooke Parsons in the 1983 horror film Curtains, but was asked to leave after shooting several scenes by producer Peter R. Simpson. The character was then taken over by actress Linda Thorson.{{Cite web|title=Curtains Unveiled: An Interview with Peter Simpson|publisher=The Terror Trap|date=3 August 2004|url=http://www.terrortrap.com/interviews/petersimpson/|access-date=5 August 2004}}
