The woman who plays “Supergirl” is super over her marriage … and just filed to divorce the former “Glee” star she married back in 2013 … TMZ has learned. 

Melissa Benoist just filed court docs seeking to end her 4 year marriage to Blake Jenner … who played Ryder Lynn on “Glee” after winning the role on Oxygen’s “The Glee Project.” 

Both 28-year-old Melissa and 24-year-old Blake later got roles on CW’s “Supergirl” — where Melissa plays the main superhero … and Blake appeared on 2 episodes.

In the court docs, Melissa cites “irreconcilable differences” for the split — and wants to block the court’s ability to dish out spousal support to either of them. 

They have no kids … so no issues there. 

One last thing, she wants to change her legal name back to Melissa Benoist … and drop the Jenner thing for good. 

Seems to be the only person in Hollywood who doesn’t want to be a Jenner these days.
