Ivy St. Helier (b. 1886 in St Helier, Jersey, d. 1971 in London, England) was a British stage actress, composer and lyricist.

On the stage, Ivy played Manon la Crevette in the original production of Noel Coward's operetta "Bitter Sweet" (1929), a role she reprised in the 1933 film version. As a lyricist, she wrote songs for "The Street Singer" to a score by Frederick Lonsdale, and wrote additional songs for "The Blue Train", the London musical by Reginald Arkell, Dion Titheradge and Robert Stolz.
