Miranda Caroline Raison is an English screen and stage actress.

Miranda Raison (born 18th November 1977) in Burnham Thorpe, Norfolk is an English screen and stage actress. Her mother, Caroline Raison (née Harvey), read the news for Anglia Television, and her father, Nick Raison, is a jazz pianist. She is the granddaughter of cricketer Max Raison and the niece of politician Timothy Raison. Her parents divorced when she was five years old. From a young age she attended several boarding schools, including Gresham's School, Felixstowe College and Stowe School.

Raison trained at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art.

Raison's breakthrough role was as Jo Portman (2005-2009) in the BBC One television drama series Spooks (also broadcast under the title MI-5). In the same year as she joined Spooks, she appeared alongside Scarlett Johansson in Woody Allen's film Match Point and in Land of the Blind playing the daughter of Ralph Fiennes's character. In April 2007 she appeared in the Doctor Who episodes "Daleks in Manhattan" and "Evolution of the Daleks" as Tallulah, a show girl whose opening scene involved singing to a musical number for which her father played the piano background as part of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales. Also in 2007 she appeared in six episodes of the Channel 4 series Comedy Showcase Plus One alongside Duncan James, Rory Kinnear and Nigel Harman.
