Stacey Nelkin (born September 10 1959) is an American film and television actress. She is well known for her role in the 1982 horror film "" as Ellie Grimbridge. Her best-known TV role is on the soap opera "Generations" as Christy Russell in 1990. She also starred in the 1979 short-lived TV series "The Chisholms".

Nelkin was scheduled to appear in the 1982 cult film "Blade Runner" as Mary, the sixth replicant who was a member of the Nexus 6, but the film's budget escalated and her part was cut before the film started shooting. Nelkin has made guest appearances in several TV series, including "CHiPs", "The A-Team", "Eight Is Enough", "1st & Ten" and "Hunter". Nelkin had a screen test for the role of Pris in the 1982 movie "Blade Runner," but Daryl Hannah got the part instead. Nelkin's screen test appears on Disc 4 of the collector's edition DVD set.

The Woody Allen film "Manhattan" is said to have based on his romantic relationship with Nelkin.
