Mag Ruffman (born February 28, 1957 in Richmond Hill, Ontario) is a Canadian comedian, actress and television host.

She has played roles in films such as Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea.

In addition to her acting, Ruffman has built a second career as a home improvement specialist, hosting shows for W, Canada's women's network. She hosted A Repair to Remember, a do it yourself repair series, in 1999 and 2000. In 2000, she launched a second series, Anything I Can Do, a workshop show. Although Ruffman brings her background in comedy to the shows, she shouldn't be mistaken for Red Green: she is skilled with tools and is popular with both women and men for her unpretentious ability to make home improvement seem like an attainable goal.

Ruffman also writes a weekly home improvement column, ToolGirl, for the Toronto Star. She published a collection of her ToolGirl columns as a book, How Hard Can It Be?, in 2003.

Ruffman is also involved in the Canadian division of Habitat for Humanity.
