Margaret Mason (December 31, 1940 – March 26, 1999) was an American actress known for her work on soap operas in the 1970s and 1980s.
She first landed the role of Linda Patterson on the soap opera Days of Our Lives, which she played for a year and a half until December 1971. Concerning her role, she told the press in a 1978 interview: "It's always been a love-hate relationship between Linda and the viewers. I'm the misunderstood bad lady." She played Linda as "a well-meaning troublemaker who wants to help others, only to see her efforts boomerang".
In 1999, Mason died of a heart attack at age 58. She was survived by her husband Alexander, a daughter, her mother and her sister.
