Barbara Berjer (June 12, 1920 — October 20, 2002) was a well-known American television actress born in Seattle, Washington.

Among her many soap opera credits were her roles as alcoholic actress Lynn Franklin on From These Roots (1958–1961); Claire English Lowell Cassen Shea #4 on As the World Turns (1965–1971); Barbara Norris Thorpe #2 on Guiding Light (1971–1981; she reprised the role for a few months in 1996); and Bridget Connell on Another World (1985–1996).

Born as Barbara Berger, but as her surname was so often mispronounced as "burger", she changed it to "Berjer", which is how it is pronounced phonetically.[citation needed]

At the time of her death, in 2002 in New York City, she was ill with pneumonia.
