Angela Harris (also Nelson) is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera Coronation Street, played by Kathryn Hunt. She made her first on-screen appearance on 13 November 2002, before departing in 2005. Angela is the matriarch of the Harris family, and her storylines centred on her family's victimisation by a gang and her relationships with her husband and children.

Her departing storyline was entitled "Killer Katy", in which her daughter Katy (Lucy-Jo Hudson) had an abortion and killed her father during a heated argument. Angela took the blame for the crime but following her daughters suicide she was jailed for perverting the course of justice. It was described as one of the soap's most sensational and shocking storylines.
