Noele Gordon (December 25, 1923 - April 14, 1985) was a British film and television actress. She was born in East Ham in London.
She appeared in two movies in the 1940s, produced in Britain and then distributed to the United States (29 Acacia Avenue and Lisbon Story). Her acting career was relatively quiet until she took the role of motel manageress Meg Richardson on the soap opera Crossroads in 1964. She stayed with the programme until the producers sensationally sacked her in 1981, as they were hoping to go for a new look with Jane Rossington and Tony Adams as the new leads. During this period, she won the TV Times award for most popular television actress on no fewer than eight separate occasions, such was her popularity in the show.
She retired to her home in Birmingham, where she died in 1985 of cancer.
