Barbara Luna (born 2 March 1939; age 70) is the actress who played Lieutenant Marlena Moreau, as well as her mirror universe counterpart, in the original series episode "Mirror, Mirror".

Luna was once a regular on the the primetime soap opera One Life to Live from 1986 through 1987. She has also appeared in several episodes of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Mission: Impossible (which, like the original Trek series, was produced by Desilu) and Fantasy Island (starring Ricardo Montalban). She also appeared in at least one episode of T.J. Hooker, a series which starred TOS actor William Shatner.

Her feature film credits include Mail Order Bride (1964, with Paul Fix), Ship of Fools (1965) and Firecreek (1968), the latter of which also featured fellow TOS guest stars Gary Lockwood and Morgan Woodward.

In 2004, Luna portrayed Veronica in the Star Trek: New Voyages (now Star Trek: Phase II) episode "In Harms Way" and appeared alongside fellow Trek performers William Windom, James Cawley, Jeffery Quinn, Malachi Throne, John Carrigan, Sam Witwer, and Leslie Hoffman. The story for this episode was written by Doug Drexler. In 2008, she portrayed Alersa in the Star Trek Phase II episode "Enemy Starfleet".
