Karen Lancaume (born Karine Bach) (January 19, 1973 – January 28, 2005) was a French adult film star who had a German father and Moroccan mother. Despite her short résumé of having appeared in only 29 films from her beginnings as an adult film star in 1997, she was quite a popular actress, with her natural beautiful looks and self-esteem, especially among the francophone public.

Born near Lyon, she spent her childhood in the Lyon countryside and completed her studies in communications. She was married to a DJ named Franck, but debts prompted her to work in the porn industry. She and her husband started doing scenes as a couple. In the 1997 film L'Indécente aux enfer she also started to have scenes with other partners. Once they had divorced, her ex-husband quit but Karen remained in the industry and continued to appear in pornographic films both in Europe and the United States.

She was well-known to exhibit lewd abandon in her sex scenes. For example in World Sex Tour 21, she engages in group sex with three male actors. This scene includes Lancaume performing anal sex and double penetration. However, she always refused to appear in BDSM and/or gangbang scenes.

She is best known internationally as Nadine in the 2000 film Baise-moi.

While staying at a friend's house in Paris's XIVth arrondissement, she committed suicide on the night of January 28, 2005 by overdosing on the sleeping pill, temazepam.
