Victoria "Vicky" Entwistle (born 15 September 1968 in Accrington, Lancashire, England) is an English actress who is most famous for playing the role of "loudmouth" factory worker Janice Battersby in ITV's long-running soap opera Coronation Street.

Entwistle grew up in Accrington; her father owned a newsagent's in Clayton-le-Moors. She attended Rhyddings High School in Oswaldtwistle, and at the age of sixteen, she commuted to Blackpool to study drama; whilst working nights at a local supermarket. For some time, she worked as a Bluecoat entertainer at Pontin's in Devon before she won a scholarship to attend Drama Centre London, from which she graduated in 1991.

Entwistle returned to the stage as Hanna in Merlin before gaining the role of Amy in BBC's Our Tune. When not acting, she lived off of the dole, but took part-time jobs as a cleaner and helped out at her parents' shop. Entwistle then played Madonna freak Maxine Graham in Like A Virgin and was spotted by Granada Television casting director Judy Hayfield. She was offered the role of machinist Janice Lee in Coronation Street and made her on-screen debut on 6 January 1997. She also starred in an episode of The Bill in 1997. The following month, Entwistle was told that she would be playing the mother of the street's new family from hell, the Battersbys and was introduced to fellow actors Bruce Jones, Jane Danson and Georgia Taylor. Soon, Entwistle found herself swamped by fans wherever she went and found it hard to accept. She once even locked herself inside a lavatory in a restaurant because she was so stressed from fans approaching her. In 1998, Entwistle had a catfight in a Manchester hotel off-screen with Tina Hobley who played Samantha Failsworth in Coronation Street after Hobley made comments about her lipstick.
