Libby Tanner (born Elizabeth Tanner, February 25 1970, Melbourne, Victoria) is an Australian actress.

Tanner played Zoe Marshall in the short lived Channel 9 soap Pacific Drive from 1996 - 1997. Having appeared in the hospital drama "All Saints" playing Bronwyn (Bron) Craig for 5 years, she left to star in the short lived television series "Fireflies", before gaining a lead role in the now-cancelled Australian drama series "headLand".

She had a one episode guest appearance on "Stingers" on the 5th August, 2003.

Tanner was short-listed for the recast of Dr. Justine Jones in New Zealand soap Shortland Street, when Laurie Foell left the role. However, the role went to actress Lucy Wigmore instead.

Tanner will be starring as "Lizzie" in the new Australian TV production "Scorched" with former All Saints' co-star Georgie Parker.

Tanner studied Performing Arts at the University of Ballarat. She currently resides in Geelong with her daughter Edie Van Vriends, born December 19 2001 and son Tadhg, born June 8 2008.
