Nora Lane (September 12, 1905 – October 16, 1948) was an American film actress.[2] She appeared in more than 80 films between 1927 and 1944.[2]

Lane was born in Chester, Illinois. She and her family moved to St. Louis when she was 10 years old. She attended schools there and worked there as a model in women's clothing shops. During a visit to Hollywood in 1925, meeting a casting director led to a screen test for her. The test resulted in work as an extra in films, then a bit part in Paris and a small part in Upstage. Her first lead role was in Arizona Nights.[3]

She committed suicide in 1948, one month after her husband died from a heart attack. She was 43.[2]
