Madeline is a book series, part of the Madeline media franchise, originally created by Ludwig Bemelmans. The series follows the daily adventures of Madeline, a 7-year-old girl attending a boarding school in Paris, Europe with eleven other girls, under the care of their teacher, Miss Clavel.

The first book was published in 1939, and proved to be a success, so Bemelmans wrote many sequels in the 1940s-50s. The series continued, written by Bemelmans' grandson John Bemelmans Marciano. As of 1998, the series had sold over 15 million copies worldwide. Since then, the books have also been made into a film, a short film, and an animated series produced by DIC (now WildBrain).
