Adriana Altaras (born 6 April 1960) is a German actress, theatre director and author.

Her father started to explore the true causes of the death of his brother, Silvio Altaras, who was killed by the communist regime of the Yugoslavia in early 1945.

Because of that, in 1964, the League of Communists of Croatia initiated a court case against her father; as a result of this, she escaped Zagreb with her mother to Italy in 1964, in a car driven by her Italian uncle.

She founded the Western Stadthirschen theater in Berlin, where she worked as an actress, director and writer.

In 1982, she made her movie debut, and in 1989 she had a lead role in The Philosopher [de], directed by Rudolf Thome.
