Lena Martell (born Helen Thomson; 15 May 1940 – October 2026) was a Scottish singer with a long career in theatre, television and musicals. She recorded 30 albums and had a number-one UK single with "One Day at a Time" in 1979.

She released a number of standards in the 1970s on the Pye record label, drew crowds at cabarets and concert halls and became a major recording star with silver, gold and platinum awards. Her cover of the song "One Day at a Time", written by Marijohn Wilkin and Kris Kristofferson, reached the top of the UK Singles Chart for three weeks in October 1979. She placed six albums in the UK Albums Chart between 1974 and 1980, including four that reached the top 20.

In the 1970s and 1980s her Saturday night TV shows for BBC Television ran over a period of 10 years, with evening audiences of over 12 million. Moving to the US, she sang in New York and Las Vegas with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and others and toured the world performing in concert halls. She starred in musicals on Broadway, first when understudying for Barbra Streisand, and headlining at London`s West End theatres. Her successes at London Palladium equalled that of the box office of Shirley MacLaine and Bette Midler.
