Carla Woodcock (born 4 October 1998) is an English actress. She starred as Susie Garrett on the Netflix series Free Rein (2017–2019), after which she was cast as Marina Perry in the fourth series of the Channel 4 series Ackley Bridge. She has since starred in Tell Me Everything (2022), Such Brave Girls (2023-2025) and A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (2024–2026), as well as Outlander (2026).

Early life Woodcock was born on 4 October 1998 in Wheldrake, York. While she was young, she began taking lessons in horseriding, but stopped when she began studying acting. At the age of eleven, she began studying at Stagecoach Theatre Arts in York. When she was thirteen, she began attending acting classes with a teacher from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA). While training, Woodcock was noted for her "star quality" and it has been stated that she achieved distinctions in each LAMDA grade. She then studied acting at York College in 2015. The series made its debut in 2017, and she portrayed Susie in all three series, as well as the two feature-length specials. At the beginning of the series, Woodcock describes her character Susie as "a bit of pushover who lives in the shadow of her best friend", but notes that by the conclusion of Free Rein, Susie is a "strong, confident young woman". After the first series of Free Rein, Woodcock appeared in two episodes of the ITV soap opera Emmerdale as Lilly. On appearing in Pandora, Woodcock stated that she does not "have much experience with the Sci-Fi genre", noting that "it was fun and interesting to be submerged in another world for a couple of weeks". In November 2021, she appeared in the Sky Cinema film The Colour Room. In 2022, Woodcock had roles in the ITV2 teen drama series Tell Me Everything as Zia and the Lifetime prequel miniseries Flowers in the Attic: The Origin.

In 2022, Woodcock was cast alongside Callum Kerr in the pilot of a Hulu adaptation of Richard Mason's History of a Pleasure Seeker, but it was not picked up for series. A year later, she appeared in a recurring role in the BBC Three comedy series Such Brave Girls. Following that, she appeared in BBC Three's A Good Girl's Guide to Murder. She is also set to star in the eighth and final series of the Starz series Outlander as Amaranthus Grey.
