Tara Fitzgerald (born September 18, 1967 in Sussex) is an English actress most widely known for her film roles in Sirens (opposite Hugh Grant) and the 1996 film Brassed Off.

She has had numerous roles on British television, including Six Characters in Search of an Author, The Camomile Lawn, and The Vacillations Of Poppy Carew. In her early television appearances in particular, she gained a reputation for appearing nude or semi-nude in several roles.

Her stage roles have included Blanche Dubois in an Bristol Old Vic 2000 production of A Streetcar Named Desire, and Ophelia (opposite Ralph Fiennes) in a 1995 production of Hamlet; for the latter she won a New York Drama Critics Circle Best Supporting Actress Award.

She was paired with Grant again in The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain, and also had major roles in New World Disorder and the film adaptation of Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle.

Her appearance in Sirens prompted a listing on the first FHM list of 100 Sexiest Women in the World.
