Laraine Newman (born March 2, 1952) is an American comedian and actress, from Los Angeles, California.

Newman began her comedy career as a member of The Groundlings and is most well known for being an original cast member on NBC's Saturday Night Live, appearing on the show from its inception in 1975 through 1980.

Newman's film career has been limited, having been hampered from the start by tepid critical and commercial response to her first leading role, supporting Dudley Moore in 1980's cameo-laden biblical satire Wholly Moses.
