Veronica Lazăr (16 October 1938 - 8 June 2014) was a Romanian born Italian actress.

She made her debut as Marlon Brando's deceased wife in Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris (1972), and also appeared in some of the director's subsequent films, La Luna (1979), The Sheltering Sky (1990), Besieged (1998) and Me and You (2012). Lazăr is probably best known for her role as the demonic Mater Tenebrarum in Dario Argento's Inferno (1980), and she later appeared in Argento's The Stendhal Syndrome (1996). Her other films included Lucio Fulci's The Beyond (1981), Michelangelo Antonioni's Identification of a Woman (1982), Towards Evening (1990), The Prince's Manuscript (2000) and Ginostra (2002).
