Lindsay Zir (born July 23, 1976) is an American actress from Sherborn, Massachusetts.

Born in Newton, Massachusetts, Zir was raised just fifteen minutes away in the small town of Sherborn. From the age of 4, Lindsay has been performing on stage as a ballet dancer and an actress in local theater. She attended the prestigious Boston Ballet School for many years and was taught by some of their most elite company members. A New York University alumni, she attended Tisch School of the Arts with a major in Drama and studied with the Atlantic Theater Company. She later transferred to NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Study where she was able to continue her studies with Atlantic but have a more liberal arts curriculum. In 1999, Zir graduated with honors, holding a Bachelor's degree in Drama.

Immediately after her NYU graduation, Lindsay relocated to London, England to work in theater as well as completing several independent films. She played the title role in Romeo and Juliet and had roles in various independent films, one of which included the Welsh film "Natural Causes." London led to Los Angeles in 2003 and soon after, Lindsay booked several jobs in TV and film. She appeared on Lifetime's Strong Medicine and David E. Kelley's The Brotherhood of Poland, New Hampshire.

Lindsay appeared on Broadway from 2004-2005 in the smash hit Pieces (of Ass). She continues to produce and perform in theater productions in Los Angeles and is currently a host for the online magazine SpinDaily.com.
