Special Agent Paula Cassidy is a fictional character in the television series, NCIS. She is a criminal profiler for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS). An expert on Middle Eastern terrorists, she once worked as an interrogator at Guantanamo Bay. She and Tony DiNozzo were intimate with each other in the past (according to the Season 2 episode "Heart Break"), but by season 3 she was significantly more antagonistic to his characteristic constant advances.

She was distraught and guilt-ridden in the Season 4 episode Grace Period, when her team was killed in an ambush planned by terrorists. She sacrificed herself to stop a suicide bomber thus saving Gibbs, Dinozzo, Ziva, and three clerics.
