Dee Hepburn (born 7 November 1961), is a former Scottish actress.

Born on a council housing estate in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, she is the second of five daughters born to dental technician Bobbie Hepburn and his wife Madeline.

After training in acting and dancing, she took a part as a school girl in STV's production of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie where she was credited as Dory Hepburn. She starred in the 1981 film Gregory's Girl playing John Gordon Sinclair's love interest Dorothy, for which she won the Variety Club actress of the year award. Unlike most of the cast, who were sourced from the Glasgow Youth Theatre, Hepburn was spotted by Bill Forsyth dancing in a television commercial for a Scottish department store. The film's cast reunited for the 30th anniversary of its release in 2010, and a clip from the film featuring Hepburn was part of the opening ceremony from the London 2012 Summer Olympics.

She was offered various roles after the success of Gregory's Girl, including the female lead opposite Oliver Reed in Castaway (played by Amanda Donohoe), and the lead in Bolero (played by Bo Derek), she turned them down because of the required level of nudity and sexual content, and having to work away from her Scottish home. She started a career in television, appearing in the Glasgow set series Maggie, and presenting It's a Knockout.

After moving south to live in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire with her then fiancé Brian Ruane a former footballer with Motherwell, she took a role in the soap opera Crossroads for three years as the receptionist.

After returning to East Kilbride, she married and had two children. She and the father broke up when the children were young, resulting in a brief comeback with a role in the film The Bruce (1996), alongside Oliver Reed.

Married to her second husband, she still lives in East Kilbride, working in business development for a local company.

Gregory Underwood (John Gordon Sinclair) is an awkward teenager who plays in his school football team. They are not doing very well, so the coach (Jake D'Arcy) holds a trial to find new players, with Gregory being moved to goal. Dorothy (Dee Hepburn), turns up and, despite the coach's sexist misgivings, proves to be a very good player. She subsequently takes Gregory's place as centre forward, and Gregory in turn replaces his friend Andy (Robert Buchanan) as goalkeeper.
