August "Auggie" Matthew Pullman is the main protagonist in the 2012 novel, Wonder, and the 2017 movie of the same name. He was born with a facial deformity, a combination of Treacher Collins syndrome and a hemifacial microsomia characteristic, which prevented him from going to a mainstream school up until fifth grade, when he enrolled at Beecher Prep.

He is the son of Isabel and Nate Pullman, and the younger brother of Olivia Pullman.
Auggie is portrayed by Jacob Tremblay.
