Polly Platt (born 29 January 1939) is an American film producer, production designer and screenwriter.
Platt was married to Peter Bogdanovich from the early 1960s until the early 1970s. She helped him write his first movie Targets, and did set design on that film, along with The Last Picture Show and Paper Moon. They were divorced when Bogdanovich left her during the filming of The Last Picture Show for star Cybill Shepherd. Platt and Bogdanovich have two children together.
Platt was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Art Direction for the film Terms of Endearment (1983). She went on to become a producer; Broadcast News is one of the films she produced.
The film Irreconcilable Differences, starring Ryan O'Neal, Shelley Long and Drew Barrymore, is loosely based on her and Bogdanovich's marriage and divorce.
