Ingeborg "Inge" von Wangenheim (née Franke; 1 July 1912 – 6 April 1993) was a German actress who married actor Gustav Von Wangenheim and joined the Communist Party. After the war, she became a successful East German writer.

She left a photographic archive from the years she spent living in Moscow during the 1930s and 40s when very few people had access to photographic equipment for both economic and political reasons.
