Raven Alexis (born January 28, 1987) is the stage name of an American pornographic actress. She started appearing as an erotic and fetish model in 2007, mostly for online publication.

Alexis founded the adult-entertainment company Raven Alexis Productions in 2009, and shortly thereafter, she signed with adult powerhouse Digital Playground. She remained a contract starlet with Digital until late 2010, when she announced her split from the company.

In 2010, Alexis won her first major award, the Fan's Choice for Best New Starlet from NightMoves. After her split from Digital Playground, Raven continued appearing in adult films, concentrating on the very popular parody genre.

Alexis has also crossed over into mainstream culture; her “Get the Poison Out” Sybian ride on the Howard Stern show became an instant classic. She has also appeared on several mainstream television appearances, including “Rated A for Adult” on G4, and reprising her classic Sybian moment for “Childrens Hospital” which airs on Adult Swim.
