Piper Laurie (Detroit (Michigan), 22 januari 1932) is een Amerikaans actrice.
Ze werd geboren als Rosetta Jacobs in een Joodse familie. Ze verhuisde naar Los Angeles toen ze nog heel jong was. Op haar 17e tekende ze al een contract met Universal Pictures. Daar kwam ze terecht na een aantal dates te hebben gehad met Ronald Reagan, voordat deze met Nancy trouwde.
Toen ze in 1955 niet meer tevreden was met het werk dat ze aangeboden kreeg in Hollywood, verhuisde ze naar New York City om daar live-televisie te gaan presenteren. Ze was te zien in shows als Twelfth Night en Days of Wine and Roses. In 1961 keerde ze terug naar Hollywood, waar ze ging spelen in de film The Hustler, met Paul Newman als tegenspeler. Het werd een succes, want ze werd genomineerd voor een Academy Award voor beste actrice.
