Joan Ann Plowright, Baroness Olivier (28 October 1929 – 16 January 2025), professionally known as Dame Joan Plowright, was an English actress whose career spanned over six decades. She won two Golden Globe Awards and a Tony Award and was nominated for an Academy Award, an Emmy and two BAFTA Awards. She was the second of only four actresses (as of 2024) to have won two Golden Globes in the same year. She won the Laurence Olivier Award for Actress of the Year in a New Play in 1978 for Filumena. She was described by Variety as "perhaps the greatest Anglophone actor of the 20th century".

Plowright was born on 28 October 1929 in Brigg, Lincolnshire, the daughter of Daisy Margaret (née Burton) and William Ernest Plowright, who was a journalist and newspaper editor. She attended Scunthorpe Grammar School and trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.
