Mackenzie-Rose Lane-Washington (November 18, 1995), known professionally as Mackenzie Lane is an American actress, motion capture artist, and former amateur mixed martial artist. She gained prominence in the horror genre for her leading roles in independent films, earning her the moniker of a "scream queen." Lane is best known for her portrayal of final girl Pipi Pendleton in the Troma-produced post-apocalyptic slasher series COVID-Graveyard (2020–present).

Beyond her work in horror, Lane is recognized for leveraging her martial arts background in action films.

Mackenzie-Rose Lane-Washington was born on November 18, 1995, in Las Vegas, Nevada, to Luke Barrett-Lane, a martial arts instructor, and Amelia Lane. Inspired by her father, she began training in various martial arts disciplines at a young age. She was raised with her younger brother, Maxie Lane, who also pursued a career in acting. After graduating from high school, Lane briefly moved to the East Coast and attended the Community College of Baltimore County before committing to a career in competitive fighting and later, acting.

She spent the next few years in lead roles, including an appearance in the 2018 horror thriller The Deadliest Roulette and 2019 indie thriller film Corrupted Killing Popcorn, often in few collaborated with Tony Todd before he passed in 2024.

Her portrayal of the resourceful, damsel-in-distress-turned-survivor Pipi Pendleton cemented her reputation as a "scream queen," drawing comparisons to genre veterans like Danielle Harris and Felissa Rose.

Capitalizing on this momentum, Lane took on diverse roles within the horror genre, playing a psychopathic sister in the black comedy horror April: Folly's Week (2022) and a devastated heroine in the slasher To My Best Friend... Thank You... (2023).
