Nora Ney (as Sonia Najman or Zofia Neuman) (25 May 1906 in Sielachowskie, near Białystok - 21 February 2003 in Encinitas, USA) was a Polish film actress of Jewish descent.
Ney fled Poland to the USSR after the German occupation to accept an invitation from Mosfilm, but was soon deported to Kazakhstan. In 1946 she moved to the USA with her daughter Joanna. Due to the language barrier, she managed to secure only minor non-speaking roles in American films. She was married four times. Her first husband was the cinematographer Seweryn Steinwurzel.
