Lisa Faulkner (born 2nd January 1973) is an English actress.
At the age of 16 she was approached by a modelling scout while she was at a tube station. This resulted in a successful career as a teenage model.
In 1992 she made her first acting appearance in The Lover, co-starring with Jane March. By age 21 she played the part of Alison Dangerfield in the British TV drama Dangerfield. She also starred in the 1994 British film A feast at midnight. In 1996 she appeared in And The Beat Goes On. Between 1998 and 2001 she played Dr. Victoria Merrick on Holby City, before her character was killed. In 1998 she played the fictional character Louise Hope in the Channel 4 soap Brookside.
In the TV show Spooks, her character suffered a particularly gruesome fate that many viewers found disturbing. This was only the second episode of the first season, and Faulkner's character had been set up as a major character. It was Faulkner's character's death that set the precedent that, in Spooks, anyone can die at any time.
In 2004 she starred as DS Scribbins ("Scribbs") in Murder in Suburbia on ITV where she played a CID policewoman in company with Caroline Catz who played her inspector, DCI Ashurst. The show returned for a second series in 2005, Sribbs' adopting the then popular fashion style of "boho-chic". In 2006 she starred in the tv series New Street Law
