Eva Bartok (June 18, 1927 - August 1, 1998) was an actress born in Hungary. She began acting in films in 1950 and her last credited appearance was in 1966. She is best known for appearances in Blood and Black Lace, The Crimson Pirate and Ten Thousand Bedrooms. She died on August 1, 1998.

Bartok spent several years in a German concentration camp, eventually marrying a Nazi officer. After the war, the marriage was annulled on the grounds of coercion of a minor. Three decades after the affair, she claimed that her daughter Deana, born in 1957 during her marriage to actor Curd Jürgens, was actually fathered by Frank Sinatra, during a brief affair they had in 1956. (Jurgens and Sinatra were born one day apart, in December 1915.) She also had a publicized affair with the 3rd Marquess of Milford Haven for several years.

Also during the 1950s, Bartok suffered a bout with ovarian cancer. She experienced an allegedly miraculous recovery after being spiritually 'opened' in Subud.
