Greta Scacchi (born February 18, 1960 in Milan, Italy) is a film actress.

Scacchi was born in Milan, Italy, the daughter of an English dancer and an Italian painter. Her parents divorced when she was three and her mother returned to England with Greta and two older brothers. In 1975, Greta's family (her mother had remarried) moved to Australia.

In 1977, Scacchi returned to England to pursue an acting career. She studied at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, with Miranda Richardson and Amanda Redman. In 1982, she made her film debut in the German movie Das Zweite Gesicht (The Second Face) and gave versatile performances in films such as "Heat and Dust" (1983), "White Mischief" (1987), "Presumed Innocent" (1990), "The Player" (1993), and "Country Life" (1994).

Between 1983 and 1989, Scacchi was romantically involved with New Zealand singer/songwriter Tim Finn. In 1991 she married American actor Vincent D'Onofrio. The marriage, which lasted approximately eighteen months, produced a daughter, Leila George (born on March 20, 1992). She also has a son, Matteo, (born 1998) with her cousin, Carlo Mantegazza.
