Lisa Faulkner is an English actress. Faulkner was educated at Tiffin Girls' School, Kingston upon Thames, Greater London. At the age of 16 she was approached by a modelling scout while she was playing her banjo in a tube station. This resulted in a successful career as a teenage model.

In 1992 Faulkner made her first acting appearance in The Lover, co-starring with Jane March. At age 21, she played the part of Alison Dangerfield in the British TV drama Dangerfield. She also starred in the 1994 British film A Feast at Midnight.

In 1996 she appeared in And The Beat Goes On. In 1998 she played Louise Hope in the Channel 4 soap Brookside. Between 1998 and 2001 she played Dr. Victoria Merrick on Holby City, before her character was stabbed to death in her own home by the father of a patient whose life she couldn't save.

In the TV show Spooks, her character suffered a particularly gruesome fate that many viewers found disturbing. In only the second episode of the first series, Faulkner's character had her face burnt in a deep fat fryer, and was then shot, setting a precedent for later deaths in Spooks.

In 2004 she starred as DS Scribbins ("Scribbs") in Murder in Suburbia on ITV where she played a CID policewoman in company with Caroline Catz who played her inspector, DCI Ashurst. The show returned for a second series in 2005, with Scribbs adopting the then popular fashion style of "boho-chic". In 2006 she starred in the tv series New Street Law.

It was rumoured that Faulkner had been short listed to play the role of DI Alex Drake in Ashes to Ashes - the sequel series to Life on Mars. However Faulkner's former Spooks co-star Keeley Hawes has now been cast in the role.
