Bärbel Schäfer (born 16 December 1963 in Bremen) is a German television presenter and talk show host.

Schäfer works in Germany as television presenter and talk show host. In 2004 Schäfer married Michel Friedman in Eschborn, only shortly after Friedman was convicted in a case involving forced prostitution and drug usage. In her 2005 released novel "Wer, wenn nicht er?" (Who if not he?) she loosely reflects on her mixed emotions concerning her marriage with Friedman, one year before.
