Olive Ann Alcorn (March 10th, 1900 - January 8th 1975) was an American model and silent film actress of the 1910's and 1920's. She is better remembered today for her numerous nude photographs of that era than for her film work.

Olive Ann was born in Stillwater, Minnesota and appeared in her first film Sunnyside, a film short, in 1919 which starred Charlie Chaplin. That same year she appeared in the silent films [The Long Arm of Mannister] which starred Henry B. Walthall and Helene Chadwick followed by [For a Woman's Honor]. She modeled, mostly nude, between 1919 and 1925, appearing uncredited in two 1925 films. Those were [Phantom of the Opera] and Up the Ladder. After 1928 little is known about Olive Ann Alcorn. She married twice, her first husband being Louis H. Scherer (divorced 1925) and her second husband being Harry Singer (married May 22nd, 1928) She passed away in Los Angeles, California in 1975.
