Yutte Stensgaard, born Jytte Stensgaard, (14 May 1946), is a Danish actress best known for playing Carmilla Karnstein in ''Film/LustForAVampire''.

She moved to England at the age of 17 to learn how to speak better English. For the next five years, she did au pair work and modelling, before acting for the first time in the 1968 film, ''The Girl with the Pistol''. Following her film debut, Stensgaard made small appearances in other films including ''Zeta One'', ''Some Girls Do'', ''Film/IfItsTuesdayThisMustBeBelgium'', ''Film/CarryOnAgainDoctor'', ''Film/ScreamAndScreamAgain'', and ''Film/DoctorInTrouble''.

Stensgaard wasn't only a film actress, racking up guest roles in ''Series/TheSaint'', ''Broaden Your Mind'', ''Series/OnTheBuses'', ''Special Branch'', ''The Adventures of Don Quick'', ''Series/JasonKing'', ''Series/ThePersuaders'', ''The Marty Feldman Comedy Machine'', and ''Dead of Night''. She also had a slightly bigger role as Helga in the first series of ''Series/DoctorInTheHouse'' and auditioned for the role of Jo Grant in ''Series/DoctorWho''.

In 1971, she starred in ''Lust for a Vampire'', taking over for an absent Creator/IngridPitt. This would go on to become Stensgaard's most famous role and cemented her as a Film/HammerHorror icon. The following year, she gave up acting and moved to America, where she worked at a radio station.
