Denise Michelle Crosby (born November 24, 1957 in Hollywood, California) is an American actress best known for her brief appearance as Security Chief Tasha Yar on the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

She produced and narrated the 1997 documentary Trekkies. She has also appeared in movies such as Red Shoe Diaries, Pet Sematary, 48 Hours and the television series Days of Our Lives.

Through her father, Dennis Crosby, she is a granddaughter of the singer Bing Crosby.
