Sylvia Trench is a fictional character in two James Bond films. She is portrayed by Eunice Gayson.

In the first of Sean Connery's outings as British secret agent 007, Dr. No, he meets Trench across a Baccarat Chemin de Fer table at the London club Le Cercle. Her love of games comes to the fore when she later appears playing golf in his hotel room.

She makes a second appearance in From Russia with Love where she shares a picnic with Commander James Bond before he gets paged by Miss Moneypenny, thus making Trench the only Bond girl in the James Bond films to appear twice. When the film series was started, the idea was to have Trench be a reccurring character, but this idea was scrapped during the filming of Goldfinger.

It should be noted that Trench can be credited with giving the cinematic Bond his most iconic catchphrase; at the Chemin table, when Bond asks her name, she replies: "Trench, Sylvia Trench" and when she asks Bond his he replies in the now-familiar style, mimicking (perhaps playfully mocking) Trench's own cadence.
