Ormetta Grace Hawley (February 21, 1889,[citation needed] Holyoke, Massachusetts[1]—June 3, 1942, Rome, New York) was an American actress.

Over her short film career she reportedly appeared in more than three hundred motion pictures, a large number of which would have been short films. She made her last film in 1919.
