Phyllis Coates (born Gypsie Ann Evarts Stell on January 15, 1927 in Wichita Falls, Texas) is an American actress.

After finishing high school she went to Los Angeles to study at UCLA. However, a chance meeting with entertainner Ken Murray in a Hollywood restaurant resulted in her working in his vaudeville show as a chorus girl. She later performed as one of Earl Carroll's showgirls at his Earl Carroll Theatre. She went on to appear in various films and TV shows mostly during the 1950s.

She is best known for having played a strong-willed Lois Lane in the first 26 episodes of The Adventures of Superman, wherein she was given equal billing with George Reeves, even for a few episodes in which she did not appear. Her powerful "damsel in distress" scream was used to good effect in several episodes.

She also had a guest role as Lois Lane's mother in the wedding episode of the 1990s TV series Lois and Clark.

Her best remembered screen role came in the campy horror film I Was a Teenage Frankenstein
.

Her friends call her by her birth name, "Gypsie".
