Kelsey Danae Lewis (born May 2, 1995) is an American child actress.

Lewis was born in Lancaster, California to Kyle and Kathy Lewis. At the age of two, she began to recite long dialogues from The Lion King, much to the astonishment of her mom, Kathy. With the encouragement of her mother, she tried acting at the age of four, and found it to her liking. Her first acting experience on TV was doing an Organ Donors' commercial. After appearing in several other TV commercials, she finally landed a part in a music video called "Family Portrait", by P!nk, at age seven. Lip-synching the lyrics to the song, Kelsey plays a young, tormented Pink, expressing sadness and anger over her warring parents. The next year, Kelsey appeared in another video for P!nk, called "Trouble", where she played the little girl wearing a yellow dress, appearing from 00:59 to 01:02 and at 03:54. Shortly after these P!nk videos started airing, Wendy Green at Abrams called to see if they could represent Kelsey. About a year and a half after switching to Abrams, Kelsey had her first big break on the big screen by appearing on the movie, "Samantha: An American Girl Holiday". In this television special, which aired in 2004, Kelsey played Nellie O'Malley, a poor Irish girl who works as a servant, as well as in factories.

Kelsey has also appeared in several commercials for Tropicana Orange Juice, SBC, Cisco, Bush's Baked Beans, Cap'n Crunch, Freihoffers Bread, Disneyland Planner, Disneyland, Mervyns, Merrill Lynch, and Toys R Us.

In Kelsey's free time she enjoys hanging out with her friends, riding her motorcycle, doing artwork and going to school.
