Maureen Ward, Countess of Dudley, known professionally as Maureen Swanson (25 November 1932 – 16 November 2011), was a British actress. As Maureen Swanson, she featured in British pictures during the 1950s. She retired from acting in 1961, following her marriage to Viscount Ednam.

Filmink magazine called her "immensely watchable on screen, and might have had a very strong career had her personal life not intervened."
