Patricia Ann Priest (born August 15, 1936), mainly credited as Pat Priest, is an American actress known for portraying the second Marilyn Munster on the television show, The Munsters (1964–1966) after original actress Beverley Owen left after 13 episodes.

Priest was born and raised in Bountiful, Utah. Her mother, Ivy Baker Priest, was the United States Treasurer from January 28, 1953 to January 29, 1961, whose signature appeared on currency printed during her tenure. Priest resided in Washington, D.C., with her mother. Priest graduated in 1954 from Washington-Lee High School in Arlington, Virginia. (See Washington-Lee, Arlington, Virginia, Alumni Directory for the year 1955).

Priest replaced actress Beverley Owen on the television sitcom The Munsters; Owen quit the series after the first 13 episodes. The running gag of Marilyn's character was that this beautiful blonde woman was keenly aware that she was the "ugly" or "plain" one in a family composed of a Frankenstein's monster for an uncle, an undead vampire for an aunt, a vampire for a grandfather, a werewolf for a cousin, and other equally odd members. Another tongue-in-cheek gag was that the character's name recalled sex symbol Marilyn Monroe. In a move that angered many fans of the series, Universal Pictures decided to use starlet Debbie Watson (12 years Priest's junior) in the role of Marilyn Munster in the 1966 feature Munster, Go Home! (1966), instead of Priest, as Watson was under contract to the studio and it had plans to make her a film star.
