April Grace (born May 12, 1962) is an American actress.

In the early 1990s, Grace landed a recurring role as the transporter chief on "". Interspersing acclaimed and award-winning stage work in L.A. with her film and TV roles, the actress slowly rose from bit parts in major studio films to more prominent characters in independent films. In 2001, she was seen as TV reporter determined to become a household name in ABC's summer series "The Beast", set in the world of a 24-hour cable news station.

While she had numerous stage and small screen credits, Grace was still a relatively fresh face when writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson tapped her to play a cool television reporter in his 1999 drama "Magnolia". She shared most of her scenes with Tom Cruise, who played the subject of her interview--a foul-mouthed sex guru.

Grace has also appeared on the television series "Lost" as the character Ms. Klugh. In 2007, Grace appeared as a news reporter in the film "I Am Legend"
