Celia Kaye (born Celia Kay Burkholder on February 24, 1942) is an American former actress who appeared in a recurring role as Marnie Massey, daughter of the character Christine Massey played by Loretta Young, on the comedy-drama series, The New Loretta Young Show. The program aired for twenty-six weeks on CBS from 1962 to 1963. Most of Kaye's work was on television between 1962 and 1974, with final credited film appearances ten years apart - in 1978 and 1988.

In 1965, Kaye, along with Mia Farrow and Mary Ann Mobley, shared the honor of the Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year - Actress, a reflection on her 1964 role as Karana in the film Island of the Blue Dolphins, directed by James B. Clark. The movie is based on the Scott O'Dell novel of the same name. Island of the Blue Dolphins is a fictionalized account of the true story of Juana Maria, an Indian girl stranded for eighteen years during the 19th century on one of the isolated Channel Islands of California.

Of German and Cherokee ancestry, Kaye was born in Carthage, near Joplin, Missouri to chemical engineer John W. Burkholder and his wife, Kathryn, who ran a private pre-school. When she was one year old, her family moved to Wilmington, Delaware, where her brother, Johnny, was born. She is a graduate of the now-defunct Henry C. Conrad High School near Wilmington as well as the Philadelphia Modeling and Charm School.
