Sylvie Laufeydottir (born Loki) is a fictional character portrayed by Sophia Di Martino in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) media franchise, partially based on the Marvel Comics characters Lady Loki and Sylvie Lushton's Enchantress. She is depicted as an alternate version of the supervillain Loki and joins forces with another version of them to overthrow the Time Variance Authority (TVA).

Blaming the TVA for stealing her life, Sylvie allies with Loki, and later Hunter B-15 and Mobius, to hunt down the creator of the TVA. After finding the creator, He Who Remains, she kills him freeing the Multiverse but betrays Loki in the process. After going to work at McDonald's, Sylvie returns to the TVA to help them fix the Temporal Loom.

Di Martino has portrayed the character in both seasons of the Disney+ television show Loki (2021–2023), and the character made her comic debut in the spin-off limited comic series TVA (2024–2025). Di Martino's portrayal of the character has been received positively by critics and fans, though some were initially confused about her identity; she received several awards and nominations.
