Michaela Bercu (Hebrew: מיכאלה ברקו‎‎; born 31 March 1967) is a Romanian-Israeli model and actress.

Michaela Bercu was born in Tel Aviv as the only child of immigrant parents from Romania. Her father is from Bucharest and her mother is from Timișoara. Bercu grew up speaking both Romanian and Hungarian. She also has Romanian citizenship.

She started her career as model at age of 13½ when her mother took her to the fashion photographer Menachem Oz. She later signed with Elite Model Management. Bercu is married to businessman Ron Zuckerman. The couple have four children.

Bercu appeared on the November 1988 cover of American Vogue wearing a bejeweled Christian Lacroix T-shirt and a pair of faded jeans; the shot was done outdoors in natural light. It was Anna Wintour's first cover since taking over as the magazine's editor-in-chief, and was seen as signaling a break from the more formal and posed cover images favored by her predecessor, Grace Mirabella. It was also the first time a model on the cover of Vogue was shown wearing jeans. Bercu was also the first Israeli woman to be featured on the cover of American Vogue. She would later appear on the covers of French, Italian, German, and Australian Vogue, American, British, Spanish, German, and Swedish Elle, Mademoiselle, L'Officiel, Madame Figaro, Glamour, and Cosmopolitan. She was also featured in the 1990 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
