Ruth Buzzi (born July 24, 1936) is an American actress and comedian of theatre, film, and television. She is especially known for her performances on the comedy-variety show Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In from 1968 to 1973.

Buzzi was born in Westerly, Rhode Island, although she would later claim to have been born in Wequetequock, Connecticut – perhaps because it sounded funnier. Her brother, Edward R Buzzi, was born in Wequetequock.

She is the daughter of a sculptor who specialized in making tombstones. Ruth Buzzi was probably born at the Westerly hospital, but her parents' home was definitely in Wequetequock, where her family owned Buzzi Memorials. She attended Stonington High School, about a mile from her home.
