Joyce Dingwell (eigentlich Enid Joyce Owen Starr; schrieb auch unter dem Pseudonym Kate Starr; * 1908 in Ryde City, Australien; † 2. August 1997 in Kincumber, New South Wales, Australien) war eine australische Schriftstellerin. Sie schrieb über 80 Liebes- und Familienromane, die zwischen 1931 und 1986 erschienen.

Sie war die erste in Australien lebende australische Autorin, deren Werke im Verlag Milss & Boon veröffentlicht wurden. Wie sie zum Schreiben kam, beschrieb sie so:

“My romance writing began with an avid romance-reading mother who devoured so many romances each week that I decide to save library trips by supplementing the supply myself.”

„Mein Schreiben von Liebes- und Familienromanen begann mit einer Mutter, die begeisterte Leserin romantischer Romane war und jede Woche so viele Romane verschlang, dass ich mich entschloss, die Wege zur Bibliothek zu sparen, indem ich den Nachschub selbst schuf.“

– Joyce Dingwell
