Olga Fielden (1903–1973) was a Belfast based playwright and novelist.

Her novel "Island Story" (Jonathan Cape, 1933) was described in the Times Literary Supplement as having an "exhilarating quality". "Stress" (Jonathan Cape, 1936) was similarly described as "fresh and vigorous". John Wilson Foster describes Fielden's fictional world as one in which "violence, degeneration, animal desires and greed battle with the gentler aspirations to refinement, cultivation, decency."

Fielden wrote a number of plays for the BBC and "Three To Go" was produced by the Abbey Theatre in Dublin.
