Noel Neill (born November 25, 1920 in Minneapolis, Minnesota) is an American actress in motion pictures and television best known as Lois Lane in the television series The Adventures of Superman.

A popular photographic model while in her teens, Neill signed a contract with Paramount Pictures and appeared in many of the studio's feature films and short subjects. In the mid-1940s she had a leading role in one of Monogram Pictures' wayward-youth melodramas, and she became a familiar face in Monogram features for the next several years. She appears in the last Charlie Chan movie, Sky Dragon (1949). She also played damsels in distress in Monogram westerns and Republic Pictures serials.

Minnesota-born Noel Neill's ambition was to be a journalist like her father, the editor of a Minneapolis newspaper. However, she was hired by Bing Crosby to sing at the Turf Club at the race track in Del Mar, California (Crosby was one of the owners). Shortly thereafter, in 1941, she was signed to a contract by Paramount. She got early experience in television by hosting and performing on several experimental programs broadcast locally in Los Angeles in the late '40s, and it was around that time that she began appearing in serials, first at Columbia and then for Republic. While she is best known for playing Lois Lane in the TV series "Adventures of Superman" (1952) beginning in the second season in 1953. She actually first played Lois in the 1948 serial "Superman." She replaced Phyllis Coates in the part on the TV series when Coates was offered a leading part in another TV series and left the show. When the series ended in 1957, Neill retired from the industry.
