Terri Nunn (born June 26, 1961 in Los Angeles, California, U.S.) is an American singer and actress.

Nunn joined the New Wave, techno-pop band Berlin in 1979, but temporarily left the band the following year to pursue an acting career. In 1981, Nunn rejoined the group as the lead vocalist and would soon forge her recording career with the band. Nunn's greatest success with Berlin was the top-selling single "Take My Breath Away", the love theme from the film "Top Gun", which reached the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. Other popular songs voiced by Nunn included "Sex (I'm A...)", "The Metro", "No More Words", and "Masquerade".

She appeared in numerous television shows of the 1970s and 1980s, including "T.J. Hooker" and "Lou Grant". She auditioned for the role of Princess Leia in "Star Wars", and appeared in the 1978 film "Thank God It's Friday".

In 1985 Nunn took a brief break as lead vocalist for Berlin and recorded the song "Dancing In Isolation" for the film "Better Off Dead". The song was produced by British singer and producer Rupert Hine. In 1989, Nunn performed a duet with ex-Squeeze member Paul Carrack called "Romance". The song appeared the film soundtrack to the movie "Sing", starring Peter Dobson and Lorraine Bracco.

In the early 1990s Nunn sang backing vocals for the band The Sisters of Mercy. In 1992, she recorded and released a solo album entitled "Moment of Truth".

Nunn briefly sang for a rock band called "Sin City" which played in smaller clubs in Los Angeles in 1996, such as the Martini Lounge (now known as the Larchmont) on 5/14/96 and the (West Hollywood) House of Blues on 12/29/96.

Nunn obtained the rights to use of the band's name when Berlin disbanded in 1987, and resurrected Berlin with new members in 1996 and resumed recording and touring. Two EPs, "Fall Into Heaven" and "Fall Into Heaven 2", were released in 1999, followed by Berlin's first live album, "Sacred and Profane", in 2000. A subsequent album featuring all new songs, "Voyeur", was released in 2002. Berlin's latest album, "4Play", released in 2005, included both new songs and covers of some of the band's favorite songs by other artists. In 2006, Nunn appeared as a guest vocalist on Pamela Moore's album "Stories from a Blue Room".

In 2008, Nunn was one of the contributors to Carrie Borzillo-Vrenna's book Cherry Bomb along with Dita Von Teese, Tori Amos, Cherie Currie of the Runaways, Jessicka, Lisa Loeb, Katy Perry, Samantha Maloney, Betsey Johnson, Anna Sui, and Louise Post. She gave tips on sex and dating advice.
