Simone Lovell (born 19 February 1934) is a British actress known for her television appearances of the 1950s and 60s.

She is the daughter of the Canadian-born actor Raymond Lovell and Margot Ruddock, whose relationship broke down when Ruddock began an affair with W. B. Yeats in 1934, the year Simone Lovell was born.
