Monica Geller is a fictional character on the popular US television sitcom Friends (1994–2004), played by Courteney Cox Arquette. Monica is known as the "Mother Hen" of the group and her Greenwich Village apartment was one of the group's main gathering places. She tended to look after her friends and was known for her obsessive personality and competitive nature.

Monica is the younger sister of Ross Geller, the high school friend of Rachel Green, the former roommate of Phoebe Buffay, and eventually, the wife of Ross' college friend Chandler Bing. Over the course of Friends, it was revealed Monica was an obese child, ballooning up to 255 pounds by high school. Monica was shown in her earlier "fat" stage in flashback scenes in a few episodes.

Monica met Ross's friend Chandler when he and Ross were in college. After overhearing Chandler call her fat, Monica lost the excess weight sometime during the last half of her senior year of high school and her freshman year of college. In a flashback episode, it is revealed that during Monica's attempt to get back at Chandler for calling her fat by seducing him, she accidentally cut off Chandler's toe.

It was Chandler who originally suggested (facetiously) that she should become a chef, which she eventually did. Monica and Chandler got together in London during the Season 4 finale; they were married in the Season 7 finale. She did not take the last name "Bing" or hyphenate her name to "Geller-Bing," as revealed in the Season 10 episode, "The One With Princess Consuela." Monica and Chandler have two children together, twins named Jack and Erica.
