Julia Foster (born 2 August 1943 in Lewes, Sussex, England) is a British actress.

Foster's credits include the films "Alfie" (1966) with Michael Caine, "Half a Sixpence" (1967) with Tommy Steele, and "Percy" (1971) with Hywel Bennett. She also starred alongside Michael Winner (who is an old friend introduced by Anthony Newley in the 1960s) in a slightly surreal British TV advert for Esure car insurance, playing an upset driver who has a minor collision with Winner only to become joyfully excited at the sudden prospect of being on TV when told "Calm down dear, it's only a TV commercial," and using the opportunity to say hello to her mother.

She played Queen Margaret of Anjou in the BBC productions of Shakespeare's Henry VI and Richard III, originally broadcast in January 1983.

Foster's first husband was Lionel Morton, once the lead singer with the 1960s pop band The Four Pennies. She is the mother of British television celebrity Ben Fogle with her second husband, veterinarian Bruce Fogle.

Foster is also a seller of antique furniture, in particular decorated Scandinavian furniture of the 18th and 19th centuries.Fact|date=April 2008
