Donna Troy is a comic book superheroine published by DC Comics. She first appeared in The Brave and the Bold vol. 1 #60 (July 1965), and was created by Bob Haney and Bruno Premiani. She has been known as the original Wonder Girl, Darkstar and Troia.

In May 2011, Donna Troy placed 93rd on IGN's Top 100 Comic Book Heroes of All Time. She was ranked 19th in Comics Buyer's Guide's "100 Sexiest Women in Comics" list.

After the shake-up in comics that resulted from the publication of Seduction of the Innocent, DC Comics searched for a way to portray Wonder Woman that would in no way imply lesbianism. One of the more favored approaches was to publish a series of "Impossible Tales" in which Wonder Woman (Diana) appeared for various reasons side-by-side with younger versions of herself as well as her mother, creating a "Wonder Family." A teen-aged version of Wonder Woman was dubbed "Wonder Girl". By issue #123 of Wonder Woman (July 1961) the label "Impossible Tale" was not being included on many of these stories. In this particular issue the character of Wonder Girl is referred to as if she is an entity entirely different from Diana, a character unto herself.

Wonder Woman's younger sister Wonder Girl made her first appearance outside the Wonder Woman book in The Brave and the Bold #60 (July 1965) as a member of a "junior Justice League" called the Teen Titans, consisting of Robin (Dick Grayson), Kid Flash (Wally West), and Aqualad (the sidekicks of Batman, The Flash, and Aquaman, respectively). After next being featured in Showcase #59 (December 1965), the Teen Titans were spun off into their own series with Teen Titans #1, cover-dated February 1966.
