Nora Swinburne (born Leonora Mary Johnson; 24 July 1902 – 1 May 2000) was a British actress, best known for her appearances in many British films.
She married English character actor Francis Lister in 1924, actor Edward Ashley-Cooper in 1934, and actor Esmond Knight in 1946. Her stepdaughter is the actress Rosalind Knight.
Swinburne was born in Bath, Somerset, the daughter of Henry Swinburne Johnson and his wife Leonora Tamar (née Brain). She was educated at Rosholme College, Weston-super-Mare, and studied for the stage at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. As a member of Clive Currie's Young Players in 1914, she appeared at the Grand, Croydon, Court and Little Theatres, during that year.
In 1914 she attended an audition with the ballerina Phyllis Bedells and later Anna Pavlova who considered her too young, even if very talented, for the corps de ballet. Nora instead joined Italia Conti school where she obtained her first real part as a child actress in Where the Rainbow Ends. She performed in the show in London and in all the big cities of England for eighteen shillings a week.

An excellent British movie from 1948 with Jean Kent in particularly good form as a 16 year old (at her own age of 27!), and also starring Dennis Price (was there a film of the period he wasn't in?!), Flora Robson, Herbert Lom, Griffith Jones, in another of his viciously nasty roles, and Bonar Colleano. The film is awash with character actors of the period, some who went on to greater things, and includes Diana Dors, Beatrice Varley, Hugh McDermott, Peter Glenville, the (almost) ever-present Amy Veness, Jill Balcon (mother of Daniel Day-Lewis), Nora Swinburne, Michael Hordern, Garry Marsh, John Blythe, Danny Green, Jane Hylton, and Zena Marshall. In the film Flora Robson's probationary officer uses Kent's downfall story as an example to try to prevent miscreant Diana Dors from falling into ...
