Molina Devi (1917 – 13 August 1977), also spelt Molina Debi and Malina Debi, was an Indian actress associated with Bengali and Hindi cinema as well as the stage. Over the course of her career, she appeared in several dozen films, working predominantly in Bengali and Hindi productions.
Known for her versatility, Molina Devi essayed a wide variety of roles. In the later phase of her career, she was often cast in matronly parts. She became particularly identified with her portrayal of Rani Rashmoni, the 19th century patroness of the Bengali mystic Sri Ramakrishna, a role she returned to on screen.
Beyond acting, Molina Devi was active in theatre administration. Together with the actor Gurudas Banerjee, she directed M. G. Enterprises, a Calcutta-based theatre troupe.
