Michel Auclair (born Vladimir Vujović, {{lang-sr-cyr|Владимир Вујовић}}; 14 September 1922 – 7 January 1988) was an actor of Serbian and French ancestry, known best for his roles in French cinema.

Auclair was born to a Serbian father (born in Požarevac, Serbia) and a French mother in Koblenz.{{cite web| title =Michel Auclair at Alice Cinema| publisher =(French)| url =http://cinema.aliceadsl.fr/ficheacteur.aspx?keys=PI001874&file=http&type=act| access-date =19 November 2006}}{{dead link|date=January 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} His father was Vojislav Vujović, prominent Yugoslav Communist and secretary of the Communist Youth International. Auclair moved to Paris when he was three years old.

He entered medical school but then studied acting at the CNSAD in Paris.

While a major French star, he only had two English-language roles: as Professor Flostre in the 1957 musical Funny Face with Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire, and as a French police investigator in Day of the Jackal (1973) with Edward Fox.{{cite web
