Susan Gibney is an American actress who was born in Manhattan Beach, California. She played two different characters in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

On The Next Generation, she played Leah Brahms in the episodes “Booby Trap” and “Galaxy’s Child”, appearing as Dr. Brahms’ holographic facsimile in the first and as the real Dr. Brahms in the second. Gibney also appeared in two Deep Space Nine episodes, “Homefront” and “Paradise Lost”, as Benteen.

Gibney was a favorite for the role of Kathryn Janeway on Star Trek: Voyager and was even brought back to screen test a second time after Geneviève Bujold failed to work out, but Paramount rejected her due to her age, convinced she was too young. She also tested for Seven of Nine and the Borg Queen, but was rejected for both.
