Kate Maberly (born on 14, March 1982 in Surrey, England) is an English actress.

Born as the daughter of an attorney, her breakthrough role was that of Mary Lennox in the 1993 film The Secret Garden (starring opposite Dame Maggie Smith). This internationally acclaimed performance paved the way for several subsequent leading roles, including Ira in the 1995 movie Friendship's Field, Dinah Bellman in the 1995 movie The Langoliers, and Vanessa in the 1997 BBC TV Drama Mothertime.

Since The Secret Garden, Maberly has also gone on to parts alongside such established actors as Ted Danson (in Gulliver's Travels
, 1996), Omar Sharif (in the IMAX film Mysteries of Egypt, 1998), and Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet (in Finding Neverland
, 2004). She is due to appear as a teen caught in a love triangle in Like Minds in 2006.

Maberly demonstrated her musical abilities as the double bass player Madeleine in The Last of the Blonde Bombshells (playing the young Leslie Caron). In real life Maberly plays the cello. She graduated from London's Trinity College of Music in 2004, after pursuing a double major in piano and cello performance.

Maberly also performed the voice-over for "Ordynek, Bringing the Pride of Poland to Texas" in 2000, and for "The Braniff Pages" in 2001. She has completed several radio works for BBC Radio 4 as well, including The Dorabella Variation, A Certain Smile, and National Velvet. Maberly's excellent narration of the audio book Catherine Called Birdy, written by Karen Kushman, received an Audie Award in 1995.

Maberly's acting is characterized by outstanding maturity and grave consideration. Her portrayal of Ira in Friendship's Field is widely regarded as one of the finest. In addition to acting and music, Maberly joined a swimming team at age 5 and won an award for best swimmer in 1992.

Her older sister Polly Maberly is also an actress, who appeared as Kitty Bennett in the BBC's 1995 adaption of Pride and Prejudice. Kate appeared alongside Polly as a guest actress in the detective series Midsomer Murders (though not in the same episode) in 2001.
