Therese Csillag (Hungarian: Teréz Csillag, Csillag Teréz, née Stern) (17 August 1859, Duna-Adony – 9 July 1925, Budapest) was a Hungarian Jewish actress.

For many years she was a popular comedian at the National Theater in Budapest. At the age of 13 she attended the dramatic school in that city.[1]

In 1879 she was engaged at the National Theater, where she became known for playing ingénue roles until 1898.[1] Gregor Csiky and other playwrights wrote roles with her in mind.[1] She became a regular at the Vígszínház in Budapest in 1899.

At some point in her life she converted to Christianity.[1]
