Allyn Ann McLerie (born December 1, 1926, Quebec, Canada) is a Canadian-born, Brooklyn-reared actress, singer and dancer who worked with most of Golden Age musical theatre's major choreographers, including George Balanchine, Agnes de Mille, and Jerome Robbins.

McLerie made her Broadway debut as a teenager in Kurt Weill's "One Touch of Venus". She went on to replace Sono Osato as Ivy in "On the Town", then created the role of Amy Spettigue in the 1948 Broadway production of "Where's Charley?" (Theatre World Award). Her other Broadway credits include "Miss Liberty", the drama "Time Limit", "Redhead" (understudying Gwen Verdon), and "West Side Story". McLerie also danced as a guest soloist with American Ballet Theatre during its 1950-51 European and South American tour.

McLerie's best-known film appearances are as Amy in "Where's Charley?" (1952), Katie Brown in "Calamity Jane" (1953), and Shirley in "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" (1969). Other film work includes "Words and Music" (1948) and "The Desert Song" (1952). McLerie enjoyed a long career as a character actress on television, making frequent guest appearances on shows such as "Bonanza", "The Waltons", "The Love Boat", "Barney Miller", "Benson", "Hart to Hart", "St. Elsewhere", and "Dynasty", among many others. She played Miss Janet Reubner, Tony Randall's dour assistant, on "The Tony Randall Show" from 1976-1978. She is perhaps best remembered for playing Blair Brown's mother, Florence Bickford, on "The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd" from 1987-1991. Her last role was on an episode of "Brooklyn Bridge" in 1993.

McLerie was married to composer Adolph Green (1946 – 1953) (divorced). She has been married to actor George Gaynes since 1953. They have two children.
