Barbara Bouchet (born Barbara Gutscher, 15 August 1944) is a German-American actress and entrepreneur who lives and works in Italy.

She has acted in more than 80 films and television episodes and founded a production company that has produced fitness videos and books. She also owns and operates a fitness studio. Some of her roles are Miss Moneypenny in Casino Royale, Kelinda in the episode "By Any Other Name" of the original Star Trek, as Patrizia in Don't Torture a Duckling and as Mrs. Schermerhorn in Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York.

Barbara Gutscher, the eldest of 4 siblings (two boys and two girls), was born in Reichenberg, a part of Czechoslovakia that was ceded to Nazi Germany and is today part of the Czech Republic. After World War II, her family was placed in a resettlement camp in the American occupation zone in Germany. They were granted permission to emigrate to the United States under the humanitarian provisions of the Displaced Persons Act of 1948. After arriving in America, the Gutschers lived in Five Points, California on the west side of the Central Valley and eventually settled in San Francisco, where young Barbara was raised.

During the early 1960s San Francisco Bay Area television station KPIX-TV ran a show named The KPIX Dance Party. The station offered young Barbara the chance to become one of the "regulars" in the dance group of the show.
