Annes Elwy (born 7 June 1992) is a Welsh actress, known for her screen roles in both English and Welsh language productions.[1] She starred as Beth March in the 2017 BBC adaptation of Little Women.[2]

She was brought up in Penarth, went to school in Barry,[3] and trained at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama in Cardiff.[4] In 2018 she was nominated for the Best Actress award at the BAFTA Cymru awards ceremony, losing to Eve Myles.[5] She was nominated as one of Variety's "10 to watch".[6]

Her theatre work has included productions of The Crucible at Bristol Old Vic, YEN at the Royal Exchange, Manchester, and No Other Like Today/Diwrnod Heb Ei Debyg with the National Youth Theatre of Wales.[7] Her performance in the 2021 bilingual thriller Gwledd/The Feast has been described as "captivating and magnetic".[8] She was critical of the decision to film in both languages, saying "it's bizarre ... because we’re so open to watching foreign language productions".[9]
