Nadine Ruth Mix (July 13, 1912 - September 21, 1977) was the daughter of western film star Tom Mix, and a B-movie actress during the 1930s.

She made a total of twelve westerns, particularly The Tonto Kid, Fighting Pioneers, Saddle Aces and Gunfire, all made in 1935. In 1936 she starred in three cliffhanger serials, The Black Coin, The Amazing Exploits of the Clutching Hand, and Custer's Last Stand.
