Dolly Martin (born Dolly Read on 13 September 1944 in Bristol, England) is an English pinup model turned actress.

As Dolly Read, she first gained prominence as the May 1966 Playmate of the Month in Playboy magazine. Her centerfold was photographed by Pompeo Posar. She posed for the magazine again in 1970. In addition, she worked as a Bunny at the Playboy Clubs in Chicago, London and New York City.

Dolly was also an actress. After appearing in the low-budget erotic film That Tender Touch (1969), she took the lead role of the sexy but naive rock and roll singer Kelly McNamara in Russ Meyer's comedy pastiche Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970), a role that included some semi-nude scenes.

Throughout the 1970s she acted occasionally on television, with guest starring roles in shows such as Charlie's Angels, Fantasy Island, and Vega$.

Dolly married American comedian Dick Martin in 1971. They divorced in 1975 but were remarried in 1978. She was a frequent panelist on the TV game show Match Game from 1979 until 1991, along with her husband.
