Bodil Joensen or Bodil Jørgensen (1944-1985) was a Danish pornographic actor born in the village Hundige near Copenhagen. Bodil was violently raped as a girl by a stranger in a railway station. On returning home to tell her mother, she was beaten and responded with a vow to sleep with boars.

She drew special attention as the Boar Girl, a reputation earned from her live performances with swine, as well as her participation in films shot with pigs on her own breeding centre. The movies she appeared in combined a peculiar blend of the "tolerant contemporary Danish society" image and Scandinavian rustic nostalgia. The prototypical film of this type is A Summer Day (1970) by Shinkichi Tajiri, showing her with animals on her estate to the tune of Beethoven's Sixth Symphony. What made her famous worldwide, however, was the unusual nature of the sexual acts she performed.
