Wendy Liebman (born February 27, 1961 in Manhasset, New York) is an American stand-up comedian. Her standup style involves the use of gently paced, subtle wordplay, for which she has been compared with Rita Rudner, Jake Johannsen and Steven Wright.

In 1983, Liebman graduated from Wellesley College with a bachelor's degree in psychology. Shortly after graduating from college, Liebman performed psychology research at Harvard Medical School.
