Amy Meredith Poehler (born September 16, 1971 in Newton, Massachusetts) is an American comedic {{film}} and [[LiveActionTV television]] actress best known for being a former cast member on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' and for producing, frequently directing, and starring as [[DeTerminator go-getter]] [[BlitheSpirit never-give-up]] government worker Leslie Knope on ''Series/ParksAndRecreation''. Like many of her fellow comedians, she was trained by the famed Creator/SecondCity improv troupe.

Poehler co-founded the Upright Citizens Brigade, an improv group that went on to have their own Creator/ComedyCentral sketch series and open theaters and training centers on both coasts. She also co-starred in the 2008 film ''Film/BabyMama'' with her former [[Series/SaturdayNightLive Weekend Update]] co-anchor Creator/TinaFey. She is also executive producing ''Series/WelcomeToSweden'', a sitcom that is created by and stars Greg Poehler, her brother. She makes occasional guest appearances playing a deranged version of herself, although in the show's universe she's not related to her brother's character.

Poehler was married to Creator/WillArnett, making them one of Hollywood's most ridiculously awesome couples, but they went through a divorce in 2012, which was apparently [[AmicableExes amicable]]. They have two sons. She's also an outspoken feminist who co-founded the website Smart Girls at the Party (now [[http://amysmartgirls.com Amy Poehler's Smart Girls]]), dedicated to young women who are "changing the world by being themselves".
