Mimi Labonq is a fictional character on the BBC situation comedy 'Allo 'Allo. She first appeared in the fourth season, and stayed with the show until the end. Her name incorporates a British slang term for sexual intercourse, "bonk," indicating that she is sexually available.

Mimi (played by Sue Hodge) is small, blonde and athletic, and passionately hates Germans. Rene Artois, her employer, has to remonstrate with her about her enthusiasm for German-killing: "If you poison them here, people will think that it was our food that did it!" Besides homicide, her talents include singing, which provokes some friction with Rene's wife Edith Melba Artois.

Like the other waitresses, Mimi is soon having an affair with Rene, and is not above being taken upstairs by patrons of Rene's cafe. At one point, she comes across a large amount of money that does not belong to her, and observes: "A good girl would not even think of taking this money---good thing I'm a tart!" as she helps herself to a good share of the cash.

After the war, she seems to have stayed on at the cafe.
