Karin Schubert (born November 26, 1944 in Hamburg, Germany) is a German actress. She appeared in film roles in the 1970s before becoming a pornographic actress in the 1980s.

In 1972, she appeared in the films Bluebeard, directed by Edward Dmytryk, and Yves Boisset's L'Attentat (The Assassination). The same year, she appeared along with Edwige Fenech in the sex comedy Quel gran pezzo dell'Ubalda tutta nuda e tutta calda (Ubalda, All Naked and Warm). She then started to appear in adventure films, especially with Italian actor George Eastman. The first film of this kind was a Three Musketeers spaghetti Western adaptation, Tutti per uno...botte per tutti (Three Musketeers of the West) in 1973. She drew the attention of director Joe d'Amato and began to take part in his erotic trash films, including Emanuelle - perchè violenza alle donne? (Emanuelle Versus Violence to Women) in 1977 where she played Cora Norman, the counterpart of Laura Gemser.

In 1985, at the age of 40, she decided to appear in pornographic films and made a contract for a yearly income of 180,000 DM with the conditions that she would not appear in anal sex or bestiality scenes and would not perform with black partners (in 1983, she had appeared in the film Black Venus by Claude Mulot as Marie, a lesbian lover of the film's star Josephine Jacqueline Jones, Miss Bahamas 1979). She made her debut with Morbosamente vostra where she once again found herself playing a character called Cora, this time a schizophrenic housewife. This film is of particular significance since one can easily observe Schubert's effort to set higher standards of dramaturgy for pornography. Following several Italian porn titles, in 1990 she starred in a three-film series called Wiener Glut also named Schubertgasse-Sex after her.

She appeared in her last film in 1994.
