Anna-Louise Plowman (sometimes known as Anna-Louise Stephens, born 1972) is a New Zealand actress. She is perhaps best known for her roles as Consultant Anaesthetist Annalese Carson in Holby City and Dr. Sarah Gardner in Stargate SG-1 who was possessed by the Goa'uld Osiris. She attended the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. She married actor Toby Stephens in London in 2002 and thus has actress Maggie Smith as her mother-in-law. In 2003 she played Melinda Maclean, wife of British communist spy Donald Duart Maclean, and mistress of spy Kim Philby (played by husband Toby Stephens), in the TV mini-series Cambridge Spies. She played Diana Goddard in the Doctor Who story "Dalek" in 2005. Plowman also played the role of "C" in a revival of Edward Albee's play, Three Tall Women, in 2006, at the Oxford Playhouse.

On 31 May 2007 The Guardian announced that Plowman and Toby Stephens had their first child, a son named Eli Alistair. In May 2009 Plowman and Toby became the parents of a second child, a girl named Tallulah. Plowman is currently on maternity leave from Holby City after giving birth to her daughter. She will be returning the show in 2010 during Series 12.
