  Winter Claire (French: Claire l'hiver) is a Canadian comedy film, directed by Sophie Bédard Marcotte and released in 2017. The film stars Marcotte as Claire, a bored young woman who is struggling to motivate herself to undertake a photography project, against the context of widespread public concern about a malfunctioning cargo spaceship which Claire fears is going to crash directly into her head.
  
  The film's cast also includes Samuel Brassard, Alexa-Jeanne Dubé, Micheline Lanctôt and Alex B. Martin.
  
  The film premiered at the 2017 Festival du nouveau cinéma, before going into commercial release in March 2018.
  
  Josée Lapointe of La Presse rated the film three stars, calling it essentially a winter update of the 2014 film You're Sleeping Nicole (Tu dors Nicole).
  
  The film was a shortlisted finalist for the Prix collégial du cinéma québécois in 2019.
