Xenia Sergeyevna Onatopp (Russian: Ксения Сергеевна Онатопп) is a fictional character in the James Bond film GoldenEye, played by actress Famke Janssen.

Onatopp, born in the former Soviet republic of Georgia, was a fighter pilot in the Soviet Air Force. After the collapse of the USSR, she joined the crime syndicate Janus, led by renegade MI6 agent Alec Trevelyan.

Her main characteristic is the fact that she can apparently receive sexual pleasure through killing. In a memorable scene, she lures Canadian admiral Chuck Farrell onto a yacht moored off Monte Carlo. She jumps on him and kisses him then pulls him up and says "you love my yets", clad in revealing lingerie, she suddenly turns over, wraps her incredibly strong legs around him and crushes his chest between her thighs, achieving orgasm,and killing him.

During the act, a man steals the admiral's ID, enabling her and an unidentified Janus operative to steal a prototype of the Eurocopter Tiger, which was scheduled for a high-profile test flight the following day.

Later, she and treasonous Russian General Arkady Ourumov use the hijacked Tiger in an attack on the Severnaya satellite control center in central Siberia, where they steal the controller for the GoldenEye electromagnetic pulse (EMP) satellite weapon. During the attack, she fires an AKSU-74 carbine around the control room, murdering all the military personnel and technicians present, again getting sexually aroused in the process.

She encounters Bond three more times during the film, attempting to crush him between her thighs on two occasions. After Bond has learned she works for Janus, she meets him in a turkish bath in a Russian hotel and though there is certainly sexual chemistry between the two, she attempts to seduce and eventually, crush him, in the same manner as Admiral Farrell. After a passionate struggle, in which Xenia achieves orgasm and nearly gets the better of Bond, he finally throws her to the ground and forces her at gunpoint to take him to Janus. When she does, he knocks her unconscious.

They meet again briefly when Bond confronts Trevelyan in his private train. She seems impressed when Bond sets the train up to derail.

They meet a third and final time when Bond and Natalya Simonova, the only innocent survivor of the Severnaya attack, enter Cuba to stop Trevelyan. After their plane is shot down by a missile, Onatopp rappels from a helicopter onto Bond, who is just awakening following the crash, and quickly gains the upper hand in their battle. She gets Bond between her muscular legs and begins to crush his ribcage, again becoming sexually aroused by the encounter. Just as Bond is ready to pass out from the pressure, Natalya intervenes, attempting to hit Onatopp with a log. Onatopp blocks her attempt and headbutts her. Bond then connects the rope she rappelled down to her safety harness, grabs her AK-74 rifle that was slung across her back and kills the helicopter's pilot by shooting into the helicopter's cockpit from the ground. The chopper veers away, pulling Onatopp off Bond and trapping her in a fork of a tree, that crushes her to death. Bond quips that "She always did enjoy a good squeeze."

Onatopp has appeared in a number of James Bond video games as a playable multiplayer character. Her first appearance was in the 1997 video game adaptation of GoldenEye, GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64. She is with Trevelyan on the train stage of the game. If the player quickly shoots her after eliminating Ourumov, she will yell to Trevelyan that she is wounded and to wait up for her. This buys the player more time to escape from the train. She later reappears in the jungle stage. Similar to the film, she is killed in the jungles of Cuba after battling with Bond, although Bond is unable to kill her by way of the tree trunks.

In the James Bond game Nightfire, Onatopp also appears as a multiplayer character. She can be unlocked by a cheat on the cheats menu with the codeword JANUS, the organisation she worked for in the movie.

She later appeared in the spinoff Bond game, GoldenEye: Rogue Agent where she worked for Dr. Julius No and was GoldenEye's alluring opponent. She appears to be commander of Dr. No's army that has taken over the Hoover Dam. She is defeated in Rogue Agent after being blown off the dam when attempting to crush GoldenEye between her legs. In the game she was voiced by actress Jenya Lano. However, in the Nintendo DS version of Goldeneye, the OMEN defeats her because there is no Hoover Dam level.

  • She is the first Bond girl to make love to someone other than Bond onscreen, and the first to express anything close to an orgasm.
  • The planned Goldeneye miniseries of comics was cancelled because of the sexually provocative cover to Issue #2, which featured her straddling Bond with a gun to her face. The opening pages also depicted her having an orgasm during her shooting spree at Severnaya. A few copies are available, however, due to the writer paying for a select number to be printed.
  • She is the second woman ever killed by Bond, the first being Naomi, Karl Stromberg's helicopter pilot, in The Spy Who Loved Me.
  • The admiral Onatopp kills in the film was orgininally supposed to be in the United States Navy. However, after reviewing the script, the Pentagon threatened to boycott the film. The character was then changed to a Canadian naval admiral.
