Fiona O'Loughlin (born in 1963) is an Australian comedian, known primarily for her stand-up comedy; for her television performances, on ABC TV's Spicks and Specks, and Channel Ten's Rove Live and GNW; and a series of advertisements for Heinz soups.

O'Loughlin (née Taheny) was born into an Irish Australian family at Warooka, South Australia, and is herself a mother of five children. She lived in Alice Springs for 27 years but relocated to Melbourne in 2012. Her family, and attitude towards children, make up a large component of her act. She is represented by Live Nation, Australia.

In 2009, O'Loughlin collapsed during a performance in Brisbane. She subsequently announced that she suffers from alcoholism.

O'Loughlin is the elder sister of Emily Taheny, also a comedian and formerly a regular cast member of Comedy Inc.
