Lucy Deakins (born 1971) is an American actress.

Deakins was born in New York City, the daughter of Alice, a professor at William Paterson University, and Roger, a retired New York University professor. She graduated from Stuyvesant High School and enrolled in Harvard University in 1988. She graduated in 1994 with a degree in comparative religion. She took time off for acting jobs and to backpack across Europe.

While living in Port Townsend, Washington, she enrolled in boatbuilding school, worked as an EMT, and signed up as a firefighter with the town's Fire Academy. She and her husband, J.J. Arnold, were married in 1999. Her daughter, Mason, was born in February, 2000. In January, 2002, she and her husband moved to NYC so they could be closer to the art world (he is a painter and sculptor). Deakins moved to Denver, Colorado in 1999, where she worked as a paralegal.
