Yvonne Pavis (12 May 1890-??) was an English-born actress, writer, and producer.[1] She began acting in Hollywood in 1910 with the Vitagraph Company, occasionally acting under the name Marie Pavis. In 1922, she went to Australia and formed a production company with Lawson Harris. After a brief time as The Yvonne Pavis Production Company, the company changed its name to Harris Austral Super Films and produced three features.[1][2] She returned to the United States in 1924. She and Harris married, but divorced in 1925.[1]

In 1921, Pavis was granted a divorce from John William Murray, who had wed two women while still married to her.[3]
