Astrid Allwyn (November 27 1905 – March 31 1978) was a stage and film actress.

Allwyn made her Broadway debut in 1929 in Elmer Rice's "Street Scene". In films, she often played the woman from whom the male star escaped, for example Cary Grant's character's fiancé in "Love Affair" or James Stewart's in "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington".

Her first husband was actor Robert Kent; the two appeared together in the 1936 Shirley Temple film, "Dimples". They were divorced in 1941. She remained married to second spouse Charles O. Fee until her death from cancer in 1978. Two of their daughters also became actresses, Melinda O. Fee and Vicki Fee.
