The Lady Naomi Anna Gordon-Lennox (born Naomi Anna March in March 1962, in Kingston, Surrey), known as Nimmy March, is an English actress.

Her biological parents were a black South African father from Lesotho and white English mother. As an illegitimate child she was abandoned by her mother and adopted and brought up by the Earl and Countess of March and Kinrara, who later became the Duke and Duchess of Richmond. Because of her race, the adoption caused a stir within the peerage and the future Duke and Duchess were vilified by some for "sullying the aristocracy", as March herself described it.

When she was 19 she was raped in broad daylight by a stranger and went through the emotional and mental torment brought on by the experience.

She went to Bedales, an exclusive Hampshire school, where she developed a liking for making people laugh as a way to feel that she belonged. This brought her to drama school and led her to participate in acting.

Her television screen credits include Albion Market, Goodnight Sweetheart, Casualty, William and Mary, Doctors, Strictly Confidential, The Bill, Death in Paradise and Emmerdale. She narrated the 2008 TV serial Last Voices of World War 1 on the History Channel, along with the BBC1 documentary The War On Loan Sharks.
