Nitza Saul (; born June 25, 1950, sometimes credited as Nitza Shaul) is an Israeli actress known for her appearances on British television during the 1980s.

In the 1970s Saul starred in several Israeli films, including Giv'at Halfon Eina Ona ("Halfon Hill Doesn't Answer"), Hashoter Azulai ("Officer Azulai") and Hagiga B'Snuker ("Party at the Snooker Hall"). Saul became the first Israeli woman to pose for Playboy magazine in the May 1979 issue.

After moving to London, she starred in the thriller mini-series Kessler and appeared in the 1984 Doctor Who serial "Warriors of the Deep" as the unfortunate Karina. She also appeared in C.A.T.S. Eyes, Star Cops, Flash (1987) and EastEnders in 1989.

She subsequently returned to Israel, where she resumed her acting career, appearing on television in soap operas such as Ramat Aviv Gimmel and Florentin. In 2001 she created, wrote and edited a children's play called Sound of Magic, which she continues to perform.

Personal life

Saul spent her military service in the IDF musical group, Lehakat Pikud Merkaz (‘the central command band’) where she met future husband, conductor Doron Salomon. Their daughter, Gal Saloman, is also an actress.
