Renate Hoy (born Renate Anita Huy; 31 December 1930 – 1 July 2024), also credited as Erika Nordin, was a German actress and beauty pageant titleholder.
After winning the title of Miss Nürnberg, she was crowned Miss Germany of 1952. She then travelled to the United States to represent her country in the first Miss Universe contest, which was held in Long Beach, California where she placed fifth (fourth runner up).
Shortly thereafter, she became a contract player for Universal Studios and made several movies during the 1950s. She was in such films as Abbott and Costello Go to Mars, Missile to the Moon, The Golden Blade, The Birds and the Bees, The Sea Chase, A Certain Smile, and had a leading role in the classic German film Schloß Hubertus.
