Polly Stenham MBE FRSL (born 16 July 1986) is an English playwright known for her play That Face, which she wrote when she was 19 years old.

It was directed by Jeremy Herrin and starred Lindsay Duncan as the alcoholic mother Martha and Matt Smith as her son Henry.

Its author, Polly Stenham, a graduate of the Royal Court's Young Writers Programme, is 20 now, just 19 when she wrote a play that sent me reeling into the night...

[5]Stenham represented the Royal Court at the 2007 Latitude Festival before That Face transferred to the Duke of York's Theatre in the West End[6] in 2008 with largely the same cast and again under Jeremy Herrin's direction.

Stenham was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2020 Birthday Honours for services to theatre and literature.
