Lisa Bowerman (born 1 February 1962[1][2][nb 1]) is an actor and director. She played Karra in Survival, the last televised story of the original Doctor Who series, but is better known as the voice of the Seventh Doctor's companion Professor Bernice Summerfield in the spin-off audio dramas produced by Big Finish Productions. She is also the human face of the character, appearing in publicity photographs dressed as Summerfield.

Bowerman also provided the voice of Ellie Higson in the Jago & Litefoot audio series and the voice of Murash in the I, Davros story Guilt. She has appeared in Dreamland, an animated Doctor Who serial, as the voice of Seruba Velak. She has also directed many stories in Big Finish's various ranges, including being the most prolific director of the Companion Chronicles and Short Trips audio series, as well as directing all but one of the Jago & Litefoot series.

She also contributed to the reference book Chicks Dig Time Lords: A Celebration of Doctor Who by the Women Who Love It.

She was a regular in the first series of the BBC medical drama Casualty. Outside of acting, she also works as a professional photographer.
