Eva Busch (born Eva Zimmermann, Berlin, Germany, May 22, 1909 - July 20, 2001, Munich, Germany) was a German singer and comedian.
She was the illegitimate daughter of Franz Beidler, the son of Wagner, and a then famous singer, Emmy-Zimmerman Burg. In Berlin she met her first husband, actor Ernst Busch (a Communist sympathizer) when they sang cabaret songs together at the Berliner Volksbuehne. In the early 1930s, she was recorded for the first time.
In 1933, after the Nazis seized power, the couple fled to Holland. Two years later, they separated.
Eva returned to Paris, France, where she sang in various cabarets, and in 1940, recorded probably her most famous song: "Bel Ami" ("Beautiful Friend").
