Eugenie Blair (1864 – May 13, 1922) was an American stage actress, who, at the age of 22, was touring with Lawrence Barrett in 1886. The San Francisco Examiner, while reviewing Barrett's work at the peak of his career, commented favorably on Blair's acting:

In "The Wonder" and "The King's Pleasure" Miss Eugenia Blair has had her first opportunity since the engagement began. She is a charming young actress, with a very attractive voice and manner.... In the "King's Pleasure" especially she looks like a bit of lovely old porcelain, and she fits perfectly into the significant and Hugoesque fragment of French romance which Alfred Thompson has dressed in such poetic and expressive English.^[1]
