Hannah Marie Einbinder (born May 21, 1995) is an American comedian, actress, and writer known for starring in the HBO Max series Hacks, for which she received nominations for two Primetime Emmy Awards, and a Golden Globe Award.

Einbinder is the daughter of original Saturday Night Live cast member Laraine Newman and comedy writer Chad Einbinder. Her family is Jewish and she grew up in Los Angeles.

She was also named one of Vulture's best new up and coming comedians to watch in 2019; she was recognized for "her refreshingly absurdist charm."

She made her national television debut in March 2020 on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and at the time was the youngest person to do a stand-up set on the show. It was the show's last on-stage stand-up performance for fifteen months as the COVID-19 pandemic was beginning.
