Anna Crilly (born 1975 in Kent) is an English actress and comedian. Crilly attended Middlesex University where she studied performing arts. She was a finalist in the "So You Think You're Funny" competition at the Gilded Balloon in 2003 and performed two shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in the following year. [ [http://www.comedycv.co.uk/annacrilly/index.htm Comedy CV: Anna Crilly] ] [cite web|title= Edinburgh 2004: Anna Crilly|url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/edinburgh2004/questionnaire/anna_crilly.shtml|work= bbc.co.uk|accessdate= 2007-12-11] Since 2006 she has played the role of Magda, an Eastern European housekeeper, in the BBC sitcom "Lead Balloon". Her deadpan performance has been described as "scene-stealing".

She recently recorded a pilot for John O'Farrell's radio show NewsBiscuit Dot.com. Crilly plays the co-host of fictional radio station NewsBiscuit, based on the website of the same name, created by O'Farrell. The show was, according to O'Farrell, a chance for new writers and actors to spread their talent. The pilot may result in a series.

She is also starring in a children's comedy series, Sorry I've Got No Head, along side Marcus Brigstocke, Mel Giedroyc and Marek Larwood (BBC Three's The Wall - We Are Klang)
