*Mary Goodnight is an inexperienced field operative and the main Bond Girl in the 1974 James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun. Portrayed by Swedish actress Britt Ekland, Goodnight is based on the literary character who appeared in several Ian Fleming's novels.

Mary Goodnight is a 22-year-old Secret Service staffer, more ditzy than in the novels, who assists James Bond when he is following Andrea Anders in Hong Kong. Very quickly it is established that she has as-yet unfulfilled desires toward Bond.

As a British Secret Service liaison, Mary Goodnight is a courageous woman who can hold her own even with men. However, due to her inexperience, she is often insecure and unsure of herself, resulting in her being clumsy in many areas, to the point of being more of a nuisance than an asset to the agents she assists like James Bond. Goodnight is also naïve, inexperienced and lacking in general knowledge; for example, she does not know how a solar power plant works. Goodnight seems to like to joke around on her missions, but her sense of humour is quite sarcastic as she uses it mostly when she is angry. Despite this, her dedication more than make up for her clumsiness, making her a funny and very endearing person. She has also shown to be strong-willed, being able to resist Scaramanga's attempts to break her will as she became his captive and maintained hope that MI6 will come for her. She is also known to be feisty and carries grudges, as evidenced by how she blamed Bond for her imprisonment on Scaramanga's island.*
