Zhana Bergendorff (born 20 October 1985) is a Bulgarian singer. She auditioned for Series 2 of X Factor Bulgaria and made it all the way to the final as part of the Over 25s category mentored by Lubo Kirov.

Due to the eliminations of Viktoria Kuprina, Plamen Mitashev and Lyudmila Yovcheva, Bergendorff was the only act left in her category. She was crowned the winner defeating Atanas Kolev from the Boys category mentored by Sanya Armutlieva.

After a period tacking mental health difficulties and addictions, she was named as the centrepiece of supergroup Equinox alongside former America's Got Talent contestant Johnny Manuel, and 3 other singers, to represent Bulgaria in Eurovision 2018 in Lisbon, where the Bulgarians came as the previous year's runner up. They made the final but placed 14th, and the expense of their entry meant the Bulgarian broadcaster could not afford a subsequent one. Initially promised as a one-off for the event, Equinox continued their career immediately after Eurovision, with an EP that summer.
