Jessica Michele Kiper (born February 22, 1979) is an American actress, singer and model, best known as a contestant from Survivor: Gabon where she placed third. She was more commonly known to the viewing audience during her run on Survivor as Sugar. She returned to Survivor to compete on the show's 20th season, Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, as part of the Heroes tribe, and was the first to be eliminated.

Kiper was born in Florida, and has lived in Rhode Island, Baton Rouge, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Her acting career began at a young age with one of her first major jobs as Amber on NBC's For Your Love. During her appearances on Celebrity Rehab, which documented her recovery from addiction, Kiper indicated that her sister Rena was her "closest sister", and that they also have a younger brother.

Kiper competed on the reality television show Survivor: Gabon, the seventeenth season of Survivor, which began airing on September 25, 2008. She was referred to throughout the season by her nickname "Sugar."

Kiper found the Hidden Immunity Idol very soon after arriving on Exile Island, beating lawyer Dan Kay who got the same opportunity the previous episode, and she played it during Episode 12 in order to save fellow contestant Matty Whitmore, thus negating two votes cast against him and ensuring the elimination of athlete Crystal Cox. She ended the series in third place, losing to teacher Robert Crowley and hairdresser Susie Smith. She was also the second choice for the 'Sprint Survivor of the Season' award, losing again to winner Crowley.
