Helen Parr (née Truax), also known as Elastigirl or Mrs. Incredible, is a fictional character in Pixar's The Incredibles franchise. A superhero with superhuman elasticity, she is able to stretch and contort her body to extreme lengths and shapes. The wife of Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible) and mother of their three children, she first appears in the animated film The Incredibles (2004), where she and her family defy government-mandated retirement to battle the supervillain Syndrome. In its sequel, Incredibles 2 (2018), she is recruited to lead a public relations campaign in relegalizing superheroes, while a new villain attempts to tarnish their reputation permanently.

The character was created by The Incredibles screenwriter and director, Brad Bird, who gave her elasticity to symbolize the multitasking demands placed on mothers. Animators used a layered rig system and custom deformation tools to animate her stretching abilities, establishing her as the most complex rig Pixar had used up to that point. For the sequel, which shifts focus to Helen, technological advancements made in the 14 years since the original film granted more complex animation of her stretching, hair, and clothing, while the writers also made a concerted effort to humanize her character. She is voiced by actress Holly Hunter.
