Patricia Bruder (born April 14, 1937 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American actress. She attended James Madison H.S., where she graduated in June 1954.

Her most enduring television role has been her portrayal of Ellen Lowell Stewart #2 on the soap opera As the World Turns. Bruder grew in time with the character, as Ellen moved from a young woman into a mature matriarch, marrying respected doctor David Stewart on the serial (played by Henderson Forsythe). Along the way, she also murdered David housekeeper, Franny Brennan, when Franny threatened to tell her son Jimmy (also known as Dr. Dan Stewart) the truth about his parentage. She went to prison where she met her best friend Sandy Wilson (then played by Dagne Crane).

In 1995, her character was written out abruptly and save for an appearance in 1998, she was never heard from (and was rarely mentioned in dialogue) again.

Miss Bruder continues to be a popular voice for voice-over work.

She is married to a physician in real life. When she is not acting, she enjoys playing the piano.
