Ann Richards (born December 13, 1917) was an Australian-American actress.

Born in Sydney, Australia, Richards began her career as a lead actress in several successful Australian productions. She moved to the United States in 1942 and was quickly signed to a contract with MGM. After a number of supporting roles, she was publicized as the next great leading lady. The role which was supposed to break her into the mainstream, as Victoria Morland, was taken from her when Jennifer Jones signed on for the picture, while she was relegated to another supporting role. After being dropped from MGM, Richards finished out her career with supporting roles in B-movies, such as the Barbara Stanwyck vehicle Sorry, Wrong Number
in 1948.

After the unsuccessful film noir outing Breakdown (1952), Richards retired from acting. She had married Breakdown producer-director Edmond Angelo in 1949, and together they raised three children. They remained married until Angelo's death in 1983. After her retirement, Richards ventured into poetry, publishing several well-received volumes.
