Arlene Martel (April 14, 1936 – August 12, 2014), born Arline Greta Sax, was an American actress, writer, and acting coach. Prior to 1964, she was frequently billed as Arline Sax or Arlene Sax.

During the early years of her television career, Martel was billed as "Arline Sax". One of her earliest appearances was in the December 25th, 1959 Twilight Zone episode "What You Need" as a girl in the bar (speaking role). She appeared in a 1960 episode of The Rebel entitled "The Hunted" in which she had a scene with Leonard Nimoy, prior to Star Trek. She was also featured in two 1961 episodes of Route 66: "Legacy for Lucia", in which she had the title role of a Sicilian girl who inherits an American soldier's estate, and "The Newborn", in which she played a mother who dies in childbirth.

In 1962, Martel made her first of two appearances on Perry Mason, as Fiona Cregan in "The Case of the Absent Artist". Later, she guest starred as Sandra Dunkel in "The Case of the Dead Ringer" (1966) when Raymond Burr played a dual role, that of Mason and as the actual murderer, Grimes. Martel appeared in the Star Trek episode "Amok Time" (1967) as T'Pring, Mr. Spock's wife, and the original The Outer Limits episode "Demon with a Glass Hand" (1964).

Martel played the princess Sarafina on Have Gun – Will Travel, the evil witch Malvina on Bewitched, the French Underground contact Tiger in five episodes of Hogan's Heroes (1965 - 1971), a female cosmonaut on I Dream of Jeannie, a Hungarian immigrant Magda on The Fugitive episode "The Blessings of Liberty" (1966), and, memorably, as the nurse who repeatedly utters the sinister phrase "Room for one more, Honey!" at the entrance to a hospital morgue and as the stewardess at the door of a doomed airplane in the Twilight Zone episode "Twenty-Two".
