Diana Josephine Churchill (21 August 1913 – 8 October 1994) was an English actress. On leaving school she begged her father to let her train for the stage.

She was a crisp, opulent blonde with blue eyes who appeared in several British films, including Scott of the Antarctic (1948). She was married to the actors Barry K. Barnes (1938-1965) and Mervyn Johns (1976-1992).
She was no relation to Sir Winston Churchill, who had a daughter called Diana.
