**Merle Oberon** (19. febuar 1911 - 23. novembar 1979) bila je britanska glumica rodom iz Indije, koja je postala slavna zahvaljujući ulozi Anne Boleyn u filmu *The Private Life of Henry VIII*. Nakon niza zapaženih nastupa u Britaniji, 1930-ih je otišla u Hollywood gdje je snimala filmove za producenta Samuela Goldwyna. Godine 1937. je, nedugo poslije početka snimanja spektakla *I, Claudius* doživjela strahovitu prometnu nesreću u kojoj joj je trajno unakaženo lice; karijeru je nastavila zahvaljujući korištenju šminke i eksperimentalnih lijekova. Zahvaljujući tome je imala zapažen nastup u filmu *Wuthering Heights* (1939).

Michael Korda, nećak njenog supruga Alexandera Korde, joj je posvetio roman s ključem pod nazivom *Queenie*, kasnije adaptiran u TV-miniseriju gdje je njen lik tumačila Mia Sara.
