Kym Valentine (born May 24, 1977 in Blacktown, New South Wales) is a Maltese-Australian actress who began her acting career in a McDonald's fast food advertisement at age five.

Her television appearances have included My Two Wives, Adult Illiteracy, At Bathurst, Candid Camera, Brides of Christ, Home and Away, Swap Shop, Hoops TV and Cheez TV. In 1994 she joined the cast of Neighbours as Libby Kennedy at age 17, and remained on the show until 2004. In June 2007, Valentine rejoined the soap on a permanent basis.

She has also done stage and pantomime work. In 2005 she took the lead role of Baby in Dirty Dancing: The Classic Story on Stage (the stage version of Dirty Dancing) at the Sydney Theatre. She was set to reprise her role when the production moved to London's West End from summer 2006 but did not get the part after an audition, despite having played the role at the Sydney Theatre.

Valentine was married to singer Fabio Tolli, but they split in 2007. They have a daughter Millana Valentine-Tolli.[1]

Valentine attended Arthur Phillip High School in Parramatta before moving to Melbourne to take up her role as Libby on Neighbours.
