Molly Bloom is a fictional character in the novel Ulysses by James Joyce. The wife of main character Leopold Bloom, she roughly corresponds to Penelope in the Odyssey.

Joyce modeled the character upon his wife Nora Barnacle; indeed, the day upon which the novel is set -- June 16 1904, now called Bloomsday -- is that of their first date.
