"Claire Voyant" was an American syndicated comic strip. The strip, created by cartoonist Jack Sparling, ran from 1943 to 1948.

The strip premiered on May 10, 1943, in the New York newspaper "PM". The title character was discovered unconscious and adrift in a lifeboat. She had no memory of her past, or even her real name, and took to calling herself "Claire Voyant." After several years, Claire was revealed to be Lyn Hall, a chorus girl. Lynn had been touring with the USO when the ship she was on was torpedoed by a U-boat.

The strip was carried by the "Chicago Sun-Times" syndicate, and appeared in many national dailes. Some of the strips were later reprinted in comic book format by Standard Comics, with covers by Jack Kamen. After the strip was dropped by the "Sun-Times" syndicate, there were no further appearances.
