Kay Baxter (October 3,1945 – May 16, 1988) was a pioneer female bodybuilder.

Baxter competed in women's bodybuilding from 1979 to 1986, competing in four IFBB Ms. Olympia competitions between 1982 and 1985. She was inspirational for many up-and-coming female bodybuilders. She was not overly successful in competitions, being deemed inappropriate for general acceptance (too massive) by judges. However, she was extremely popular amongst fans of the sport, winning the "Women's Physique Publication" "The Best Woman Bodybuilder in the World" poll every year from 1979 to 1982.

She placed 8th in her first Ms. Olympia and 16th in 1984, but never considered wavering from her pursuit of maximum muscle: “Someone had to stick her neck out for the cause of muscular women … and I’ve got no regrets about that... not one”, she said. One of her catchphrases was "Get built without guilt".

Baxter died in a car crash in 1988 just as her career was moving towards acting. She was inducted into the IFBB Hall of Fame in 2001.
