Veronica Cooper (née Balfe; May 27, 1913 – February 16, 2000) was an American debutante and actress who appeared in The Gay Nighties and other films under the name Sandra Shaw.

Balfe married actor Gary Cooper on December 15, 1933, at her mother's home at 778 Park Avenue, New York; the wedding had been planned for the Waldorf Astoria hotel, but the location was probably changed to avoid public attention.
