Tiffany Mitchell (also Raymond) is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders, played by Martine McCutcheon from 1995 until 1999. The character was created by writer Tony Jordan.^[1] She was introduced as a school friend of Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer) in January 1995.

In 1996, after getting herself a job as barmaid of the soap's pub, The Queen Victoria, Tiffany got pregnant by former pub landlord Grant Mitchell (Ross Kemp). They later started a relationship and got married, having a daughter called Courtney. However, the relationship suffered a lot due to Grant's constant mistreatment of Tiffany. The final blow occurred towards the end of 1998 when Grant had an affair with Louise Raymond, Tiffany's mother.

Tiffany was a prominent and popular character during her tenure. At the end of 1997, McCutcheon announced she would be quitting the role in order to pursue a musical career. Producers made the controversial decision to kill the character off, an act that McCutcheon publicly criticised as she had hoped to return at some stage. A book released in December 1998, documenting Tiffany's time in the soap, was a number-one bestseller.
