Jay Neill was an English variety performer and television actor who often appeared in comedic roles.

After leaving the Dior Dancers, Neill moved on to a successful career as a television actor, appearing in television programmes such as Doctor Who, The Onedin Line, Fawlty Towers, Sykes, Terry and June and Upstairs, Downstairs.
