Beverly Owen (b. 1939) is an actress who played Marilyn Munster in the first season of the sitcom The Munsters, and was subsequently replaced by Pat Priest. She also acted in commercials, including a 1967 La Choy supermarket spot, as a mother uncertain of how to feed ten hungry cub scouts, whose problem is solved by The La Choy Dragon.

Born Beverly Ogg in Iowa, she moved to New York City to pursue an acting career, and early on worked as a typist for Ed Sullivan (briefly) and for a longer stint on Captain Kangaroo, where she met future Sesame Street writer/director Jon Stone. Upon her departure from the The Munsters in 1964, Owen and Stone were wed. They would divorce in 1974.
