Michelle Marie Pfeiffer (born April 29, 1958) is an American actress. Known for playing eclectic roles from a wide variety of film genres, she is recognized as one of the most prolific actresses of the 1980s and 1990s. Pfeiffer has received numerous accolades throughout her career, including a Golden Globe Award and a British Academy Film Award, in addition to nominations for three Academy Awards and a Primetime Emmy Award.

Born and raised in Santa Ana, California, Pfeiffer briefly studied to be a court stenographer before deciding to pursue acting. She began her acting career in 1978 with minor television and film appearances before attaining her first leading role in Grease 2 (1982), a critical and commercial failure in which Pfeiffer was noted as a positive exception. Disillusioned with being typecast in nondescript roles as attractive women, she actively sought more challenging material, earning her breakout role in 1983 as gangster moll Elvira Hancock in Scarface. She achieved further success with roles in The Witches of Eastwick (1987) and Married to the Mob (1988), for which she was nominated for her first of six consecutive Golden Globe Awards. Her performances in Dangerous Liaisons (1988) and The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989) earned her two consecutive Academy Award nominations, for Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress respectively, winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama for playing lounge singer Susie Diamond in the latter. She also won National Board of Review, National Society of Film Critics, New York Film Critics Circle, Chicago Film Critics Association and Los Angeles Film Critics Association awards for the same performance.

Establishing herself as a leading lady during the 1990s with high-profile roles in The Russia House (1990) and Frankie and Johnny (1991), Pfeiffer became one of the decade's highest-paid actresses. In 1992, Pfeiffer starred in Batman Returns as Selina Kyle / Catwoman to widespread acclaim, while receiving her third Academy Award nomination for Love Field. She drew praise for performances in The Age of Innocence (1993), Wolf (1994) and White Oleander (2002), while producing and starring in several successful films under her production company Via Rosa Productions, including Dangerous Minds (1995). She acted sporadically over the next few years, voicing characters in two animated films for DreamWorks and choosing to focus on her family. In 2007, Pfeiffer returned from hiatus with villainous roles in the blockbusters Hairspray and Stardust. Following another sabbatical, she earned rave reviews in 2017 for Where Is Kyra? She returned to prominence with supporting roles in Mother! and Murder on the Orient Express, while receiving a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for portraying Ruth Madoff in The Wizard of Lies. She debuted in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Janet van Dyne / Wasp in Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) before earning her eighth Golden Globe Award nomination for French Exit (2020).

Awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2007, Pfeiffer has remained one of Hollywood's most bankable actresses for four decades. Labeled a sex symbol, she has been cited among the world's most beautiful women by several publications, with her physical appearance being scrutinized by the media since the beginning of her career. Notoriously private about her personal life, she has been married twice: to actor Peter Horton from 1981 to 1988, and television producer David E. Kelley since 1993, with whom she has two children.
