Kelly Chal is a former New Zealand political candidate.

Chal was born in India, to a Sikh father and a Christian mother. She herself, however, is Christian, and has been involved with the evangelical Destiny Church. In New Zealand, she worked as a case manager for ACC and as a career counsellor.

In the 2002 election, Chal was ranked fifth on United Future's party list, and therefore was expected to enter Parliament. After the election, however, it emerged that Chal was not actually eligible to stand for election, as she was not a New Zealand citizen. As a result, she was removed from the party list, allowing Paul Adams to enter Parliament in her place. It was suggested that legal action might be taken against Chal, as she had signed a declaration that she was eligible to stand. It was eventually decided, however, the Chal had made an honest mistake. Chal did not contest the 2005 election.
