Mariel Hadley Hemingway (born November 22, 1961) is an American actress and author. She began acting at age 14 with a Golden Globe–nominated breakout role in Lipstick (1976), and received Academy and BAFTA Award nominations for her performance in Woody Allen's Manhattan (1979).

She is also known for her leading roles in Personal Best (1982) and Star 80 (1983), as well as in the TV series Civil Wars, for which she received a Golden Globe nomination. Amid mental health struggles, Hemingway's star faded in the 1990s. She has also starred in and co-produced videos about yoga and holistic living. She published a memoir in 2002, and another, Out Came the Sun, in 2015.

Hemingway was born in Mill Valley, California, the third daughter of Byra Louise (née Whittlesey) Hemingway (1922–1988) and Jack Hemingway (1923–2000), a writer. Her sisters are Joan Hemingway (born 1950) and Margaux Hemingway (1954–1996). Margaux, who was an actress and model, died of a barbiturate overdose at age 42 in 1996.

Her paternal grandparents were Hadley Richardson (1891–1979) and Nobel Prize–laureate novelist Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961), who committed suicide four months before she was born. She was named after the Cuban port of Mariel—her father and grandfather visited the village regularly to go fishing. Her middle name was her paternal grandmother's. Hemingway grew up primarily in Ketchum, Idaho, where her father lived, and where Ernest had spent time as a sportsman and writer before he died there of a gunshot wound. She spent part of her adolescence in Los Angeles and New York City.
