Unė Babickaitė-Graičiūnienė (born Uršulė Babickaitė also known as Une Baye; 19 April 1897 – 1 August 1961) was a Lithuanian actress and theater director. During World War I, she attended the Saint Petersburg Conservatory. After the war, she staged several plays in Lithuania, but they were not well received by the critics.

With his financial support, she organized theater plays in Paris and London. Babickaitė returned to Lithuania in 1936. After World War II, she was sentenced to five years in a Gulag.
