Laura Fygi (Amsterdam, 27 augustus 1955, officiële naam Laura Ingrid Thérèse Fijgi) is een Nederlandse zangeres.
Fygi werd geboren als dochter van een Nederlandse vader (Philips-directeur) en een Egyptische moeder die buikdanseres van beroep was. Voor beide ouders was het hun tweede huwelijk. Uit hun eerdere huwelijken hadden ze al drie dochters. Fygi groeide vanaf haar vierde jaar op in Uruguay. Toen ze acht was overleed haar vader en keerde Fygi met haar moeder terug naar Nederland. Ze werd naar een kostschool gestuurd, deed de lagere school in Driebergen en de middelbare school in Veldhoven.
Van 1980 tot en met 1983 zat Fygi in de groep Terra. Deze groep bracht twee singles uit.
Tussen 1984 en 1989 was Fygi lid van één van Nederlands populairste meidengroepen van dat moment: Centerfold. Tijdens optredens gingen de dames gekleed in sexy lingerie. Ze scoorden hits in eigen land en in Europa, maar ook in bijvoorbeeld Japan. In Nederland scoorde Centerfold haar grootste hit in 1986 met "Dictator".

In 1991, the ladies of Centerfold stopped performing and Laura (together with Rowan Moore) started a band called The Backlot.

This first album of hers was called Introducing, produced by Ruud Jacobs. On this album, she was accompanied by famous Belgian musician Jean "Toots" Thielemans. Most of the songs on the album are jazz.
