Kelli Young (born 7 April 1982, in Derby, England) was a member of British pop group, Liberty X.

She went to Derby High School, Littleover, until she was 16, when she moved to London.

Liberty X was formed by the rejects from reality TV programme Popstars. The winners formed the short-lived groupHear'Say. Ironically, Liberty X stayed together longer and achieved greater success than the 'winning' group. Liberty X's first, and to-date only, number one single came in 2002 with 'Just A Little'. Further success followed with singles such as 'Got To Have Your Love' and 'Song 4 Lovers'. Young co-wrote some of Liberty X's singles (such as "Thinking It Over" and "Holding On For You"), as well as several of their album tracks.

Young starred in the ITV show "Britain Sings Christmas" in 2007, performing a version of Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You'.

As of February 2008, Young is thought to have joined AATW(All Around The World Records) which is largely a dance label and a debut solo single and album are likely in Summer 2008.
