Anita Harris is an English actress, singer and entertainer. Harris sang with the Cliff Adams Singers, and had a number of chart hits in the 1960s. She appeared in the Carry On films Follow That Camel and Carry On Doctor.

Harris's musical career began as a child, although her expectations were to become a dancer. Soon after leaving school she left Britain and trained as a choreographed skater in Las Vegas. One of the few women to sing with the Cliff Adams Singers, best known for BBC Radio's Sing Something Simple, Harris was still in her teens when she cut her first recordings. This was with the John Barry Seven — a band who, at that time, were successful in the charts. This early single though, a double A-side of "I Haven't Got You" and "Mr. One and Only", did not succeed.

She was still appearing as herself on programmes up to 2001, in particular Boom Boom: The Best of the Original Basil Brush Show, French & Saunders, and Bob Monkhouse: A BAFTA Tribute. She also appeared in the cast of the touring play Seven Deadly Sins Four Deadly Sinners. In 2006 Harris appeared in Strangers on a Train at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley, co-starring Alex Ferns, Will Thorp, Colin Baker and Leah Bracknell for a one week run. In April 2009, Harris started at the New End Theatre playing Gertrude Lawrence in G and I. Her recent stage appearances include the national tours of Stepping Out in 2010 and in 2011, Five Blue Haired Ladies Sitting On A Park Bench. Harris appeared in the Theatre Royal, Windsor's 2011 pantomime, Sleeping Beauty. Most recently she toured the UK in The Cemetery Club, a play written by Ivan Menchell.
