Linda Davidson (born 18 June 1964) is a Canadian-British former actress and writer. She played the wayward punk Mary Smith in the BBC soap opera, EastEnders.

Away from EastEnders, Davidson appeared in various television programmes and on stage. However, she stopped performing in the late 1990s. She went on to work in digital media for the BBC and Channel 4, and later joined Discovery Communications.[1]
