香奈儿（法语：Chanel,其实“Chanel”字与“Channel”毫无关系,公司是由可可·香奈儿法语翻译过来,只是“Chanel”则与“Channel”相似的字形而已,法语的“Chanel”公司名称常被误写为“Channel”。）公司，是由可可·香奈儿在1909年创办的巴黎女装店，私人公司。这家小商店开始只是一家帽子店，1912年可可将店搬至内搬迁至位于旺多姆广场旁边的31号康邦街（Rue Cambon）。这家店的成名来源于和它的旗帜香奈儿五号香水（1921年五月，当香水创作师Ernest Beaux呈现给香奈儿多重的香水选择，香奈儿几乎毫无犹豫地选出了第五款，之后成为香奈儿五号香水。）后来因1954年，好莱坞性感女神玛丽莲-梦露(MarilynMonroe)在一次记者招待会上被问及：“请问您夜里穿睡衣吗？”面对这个轻佻而隐晦的问题，梦露莞尔一笑，轻轻说出“只有几滴香奈儿五号”。这段佳话一直流传至今，被人津津乐道，这无疑也成为了香奈儿5号最贴切的“广告”之一。1956年，还成为纽约大都会博物馆的收藏。

Chanel S.A. (/ʃəˈnɛl/; French: [ʃaˈnɛl]) is a French, privately held company owned by Alain and Gerard Wertheimer, grandsons of Pierre Wertheimer, who was an early business partner of the couturière Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel. Chanel S.A. is a high fashion house that specializes in haute couture and ready-to-wear clothes, luxury goods and fashion accessories. In her youth, Gabrielle Chanel gained the nickname Coco from her time as a chanteuse. As a fashion designer, Coco Chanel catered to women’s taste for elegance in dress, with blouses and suits, trousers and dresses, and jewellry (gemstone and bijouterie) of simple design, that replaced the opulent, over-designed, and constrictive clothes and accessories of 19th-century fashion. The Chanel product brands have been personified by fashion models and actresses, including Inès de la Fressange, Catherine Deneuve, Carole Bouquet, Vanessa Paradis, Nicole Kidman, Anna Mouglalis, Audrey Tautou, Keira Knightley and Marilyn Monroe.
