Peta Toppano (8 April 1952, London) is an actress who found success in Australian television, as part of the original casts of soap operas "The Young Doctors" (playing Dr Gail Henderson) and "Prisoner" (playing Karen Travers). She left "The Young Doctors" in early 1978 to take a role in a production of stage musical "A Chorus Line" in Sydney. In some of her early appearances she was credited as Peita Toppano and also referred to as Pieta Toppano. She married her "Prisoner" co-star Barry Quin in the early 1980s and was for a time known as Peta Quin. The marriage ended in divorce.

Toppano was later married to Australian billionaire Kerry Stokes and later divorced.

She later became widely known for her spirited performance as sequined superbitch Jilly Stewart in the glossy saga "Return to Eden". Toppano played "Helen Poulos" in soap opera "Home and Away" in 2000. Even though many people think she is featured in the Nurofen Ad this is not the case.
