Divya Dutta (born September 25, 1977, in Ludhiana, Punjab) is a versatile Indian actress known for powerful supporting roles in Hindi and Punjabi cinema.

She gained acclaim for Veer-Zaara (2004), earning Filmfare and Zee Cine nominations, and won a National Film Award for Irada (2018). Her career spans over 100 films/series, including Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Special OPS, Chhaava (2025), and OTT projects. Unmarried, she authored Me and Ma (memoir on her mother).
