Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen and actress wife Isla Fisher have given more than $1.3m to charity, says Britain's Sunday Times.

Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen and his wife, actress Isla Fisher, have reportedly donated more than STG670,000 ($A1.37 million) to charity.

The couple have given STG336,000 to The Sunday Times Christmas appeal to help protect 250,000 children against a threatened measles outbreak in Syria, the newspaper said.

Their donation will go towards vaccinations administered by Save the Children.

Baron Cohen, 44, and Fisher, 39 are also giving a separate sum of STG336,000 which is for the New York-based International Rescue Committee run by former foreign secretary David Miliband, The Sunday Times reported.
