Aida Overton Walker (), juga dikenal dengan sebutan "Ratu Cakewalk", adalah seorang vaudeville, aktris, penyanyi, penari, koreografer asal Amerika. Ia juga merupakan istri dari vaudevillian George Walker. Dia muncul bersama suaminya dan pasangannya Bert Williams, dalam grup seperti Black Patti's Troubadours. Dia juga seorang penari solo serta koreografer untuk pertunjukan vaudeville seperti Bob Cole, Joe Jordan, dan J. Rosamond Johnson The Red Moon (1908) dan His Honor the Barber (1911) dari S. H. Dudley. Aida Overton Walker juga terkenal karena penampilannya pada tahun 1912 dari tarian "Salome" di Hammerstein's Victoria Theater. Ini merupakan tanggapan Aida terhadap kegilaan "Salomania" nasional tahun 1907 yang menyebar melalui sirkuit vaudeville putih.Office of the Dean, "Bad girls of the 20th century: UCI professor's new book highlights four performance icons who embodied and defied stereotypes", review of Jeanne Scheper, Moving Performances: Divas, Iconicity, and Remembering the Modern Stage (Rutgers University Press, 2016), UCI School of Humanities.
