Linden Travers (27 May 1913 – 23 October 2001) was a British actress.
The elder sister of the actor Bill Travers, Linden Travers attended the La Sagesse school in Newcastle upon Tyne and her first stage appearance was at the Newcastle Playhouse in 1933. She made her West End debut the following year in Ivor Novello's Murder in Mayfair, and appeared in her first film, Children of the Fog, in 1935.
She played a substantial role in Carol Reed’s Bank Holiday (1938). One of her most widely seen performances was as Mrs. Todhunter in Alfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes (1938). She also appeared in The Stars Look Down (1940) and Quartet (1948).
Her career consisted mainly of supporting roles, but she also played occasional lead roles, such as the title character of No Orchids for Miss Blandish in 1948.
She retired in 1948, after her second marriage. In 1999, she took part in the television programme Reputations: Alfred Hitchcock, paying tribute to the man who had directed her sixty years earlier.
