Kimberly Fairchild is a fictional character from the CBS Daytime soap opera, The Bold and the Beautiful. She was portrayed by Ashley Tesoro from 1998-2001.

Kimberly Fairchild is the daughter of Myles Fairchild. Her mother died, and she and Myles moved to Los Angeles from Nantucket (where she was born and raised) into James and Maggie Warwick's old home. They were introduced to society at a party at Brooke Logan's home where Kimberly was immediately smitten with Rick. She enrolled in Meadow Woods High School, like Rick, and it wasn't long before the two were study buddies.

Kimberly fell for Rick, who seemed to share her views on waiting for the right person before going 'all the way'. She was confused when she met Amber, who warned her to keep away from Rick. Kimberly was devastated to learn that Rick had a girlfriend. Kimberly's resistance didn't last long. She was soon back in the thick of things with Rick. After Amber warned her to stop chasing Rick again, Kimberly decided to pull out all the stops to destroy Rick and Amber's relationship. Kimberly was encouraged when Brooke explained that Amber was a gold-digger and a tramp and Eric begged for her help in breaking up Rick and Amber. She soon began dating C.J. casually as a way of staying close to Rick. Although Kimberly toyed with the idea of leaving town, she eventually decided that it was far more important to be there for Rick.

When Amber nearly lost the baby after another fight with Kimberly, Kimberly told Rick that she couldn't continue to cause problems for Amber and hurt the baby. She secured a promise from Amber that she would do her best to make Rick happy, but Kimberly's best intentions nearly fell by the wayside when Amber missed the wedding rehearsal and Kimberly had to stand in for her. Kimberly was heartbroken as she watched Rick and Amber exchange their vows.

When Kimberly learned Macy was her sister, Kimberly was devastated that her father had a life that didn't include her. She ran away, staying with her friend Alexis until Rick convinced her to go home. Once Kimberly learned that there was a possibility that Amber's baby may not be Rick's, she was more determined than ever to pursue a future with him. C.J. tried to warn her against the idea and she promised that if the baby was Rick's she'd walk away. She was beginning to accept Macy as her sister and the two were growing closer. Once Rick announced that he forgave Amber even though the baby could have been Raymond's, Kimberly accepted dates from C.J., and even kissed C.J. in an attempt to make Rick jealous. Her suspicion of Amber grew and she found it impossible to stay away from Rick.
