Amy Marie Madigan (born September 11, 1950) is an American actress. She has acted on stage and screen, and has received a Golden Globe Award, as well as nominations for an Academy Award and an Emmy Award. She has been married to actor Ed Harris since 1983. Madigan made her film debut in the drama Love Child (1982), for which she was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year – Actress.

After a lack of "meaningful roles", she gained newfound attention for her performance in the horror film Weapons (2025). On television, Madigan portrayed Sarah Weddington in the television film Roe vs. Wade (1989), for which she won the Golden Globe Award and was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award. She also took roles in the HBO series Carnivàle (2003–2005), Grey's Anatomy (2008–2009), and Fringe (2009).
