June Child, sometimes known as June Bolan, was the wife of British rock singer Marc Bolan, of T. Rex. She was also briefly the secretary to Pink Floyd and girlfriend of the band's singer Syd Barrett.

She was born in London and lived in Fulham with her sister and parents. Her father worked for W.H.Smith. She attended Holland Park Comprehensive. She worked for Veroniques, a firm of fabric importers before leaving to work for a photographer, whose studio was in the same building in Hanover Street. It was at this time she started helping out with unknown bands, such as the Yardbirds. It was while she was with Pink Floyd's entourage that she met Bolan. For a while they ran a stall in Portobello market.

Becoming T. Rex's manager after the departure of Tony Secunda in 1972, she left Marc in 1973, after he started dating T. Rex backing singer Gloria Jones, of "Tainted Love" fame, during the band's second headlining tour of the US.

Child died of a heart attack in Turkey in 1995.
