Erika Eleniak (born Erika Maya Eleniak on September 29, 1969 in Glendale, California) is an American actress, Playboy Playmate, and former model. In 1989 when she was 19, Eleniak appeared in the July 1989 issue of Playboy magazine in a pictorial with a nautical theme. Her centerfold was photographed by Richard Fegley.

Her film debut was a small part in E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982). She later starred in the films The Blob, Under Siege and The Beverly Hillbillies. She is best known for her role in Baywatch as Shauni McClain.

Eleniak attended Robert Fulton Junior High in Van Nuys, Los Angeles and graduated from Van Nuys High School. During her teenage years, Eleniak became a regular on the San Fernando Valley party circuit and she began to use alcohol and drugs regularly. Steve Ferguson, a quadriplegic who socialized in the same circles as Eleniak, helped curtail her problem by introducing her to Alcoholics Anonymous in 1988 and helping her through her detoxification. Eleniak dated Ferguson for a while and there was talk of an engagement. However the relationship ended as Eleniak's mother married Ferguson's father instead.

Eleniak has dated some of Hollywood's most famous bachelors and was engaged for a time to William McNamara. In 1997 she met her future husband, Philip Goglia. They married on May 22, 1998, and Eleniak used the name Erika Eleniak-Goglia during their brief relationship. They lived in Marina del Rey, California until divorcing in 1999.

Erika has dual citizenship with the United States and Canada. After filming Snowbound in 2001 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Eleniak fell in love with the city and with Roch Daigle, a key grip who worked on the set. Having desired leaving Los Angeles for years, Eleniak purchased a home in Calgary, in part because Daigle lived there. The two married sometime in 2005 when Eleniak was pregnant. Six and a half weeks into her term, the pregnancy was discovered to be ectopic, which required emergency surgery days later. As is often the case with ectopic pregnancies, it ended in miscarriage but Eleniak soon became pregnant again. Her first child, a daughter Indyanna was born in January 2006.
