Chelsea Carey (born September 12, 1984 in Winnipeg, Manitoba) is a Canadian curler.

Carey is the daughter of former Brier champion Dan Carey. Carey curled in six provincial junior championships, but did not win the event. She did win the 2000 Juvenile Provincial championship which she followed up with a silver medal at the 2001 Canadian Juvenile championship. She was also the high school provincial champion in 2002.

Carey has come closest to winning a provincial women's champion in 2011, when she lost to Cathy Overton-Clapham in the final. In 2009, she was the Manitoba Curling Tour champion that year, and has won a number of World Curling Tour events including the 2005 Manitoba Lotteries Wheat City Curling Classic, the 2006 Interlake Pharmacy Classic (playing third for Barb Spencer in both events), and the Interlake Pharmacy Classic again in 2009.

In October 2010 Carey skipped her team to their first Grand Slam victory. Carey defeated Cathy Overton-Clapham 7-3 at the Fort Rouge Curling Club in Winnipeg, Manitoba to claim first place in the Manitoba Lotteries Women's Curling Classic.[1] In January 2011 Carey continued her winning ways with her rink emerging victorious in the Manitoba Curling Tour (MCT) Championships in Morris, Manitoba. Her rink overcame an early round robin loss, winning 5 games in a row to reach the finals where they defeated Kim Link 6-4. [2] In recognition of their strong season, Carey's rink was named the 2011 World Curling Tour Breakthrough Team of the Year.[3]

Carey posed for the 2011 "Women of Curling Calendar".[4] She has a Bachelors of Commerce from the University of Manitoba and works as a marketing representative for Sealy Canada.
