Phyllis Povah (July 21, 1893 - August 7, 1975) was an American stage and film actress.

Povah made her Broadway theatre debut in Mr. Pim Passes By in 1921 and acted in minor roles in several productions over the next two decades.

She achieved a notable success in a featured role in the stage production of The Women, and the play ran for 18 months, from 1936 until 1938.
