In the fictional continuity of Macross Claudia LaSalle is an american U.N. Spacy bridge officer in charge of weaponry and navigation of the SDF-1 Macross space fortress. She and fellow bridge officer Misa Hayase are close friends, and she is often there to give her friend advice on matters of the heart (especially when it comes to Misa's confused feelings for Hikaru Ichijyo), something Hayase is awkward in. She used to be in a close relationship with Roy Focker until his death.

She is known as Claudia Grant in Robotech. Claudia LaSalle does not die at the end of Macross, although her Robotech counterpart does die.

It is possible Claudia is a relative of Edgar LaSalle from Macross Zero, who was Shin Kudo's RIO.
