Lexie Carver is a fictional character on the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives, created by head writer Leah Laiman. The role has been played most notably by actress Renée Jones, who appeared in the role from 1993 until departing in 2012. She is the daughter of crime boss Stefano DiMera, and the psychic Celeste Perrault. She is the mother of Theo Carver, and the wife of former mayor Abe Carver.

The role was originated on July 30, 1987, by Cyndi James Gossett on a recurring basis. Gossett last appeared as Lexie on February 20, 1989. In 2011, an error listing Sheila DeWindt Wills as having portrayed Lexie was corrected by James Reynolds, who portrays Abe Carver: Sheila did not portray Lexie, she portrayed the role of nurse, Joan Hopkins, from 1982-83. The error occurred when Wills was mixed up with the second actress to portray Lexie, Angelique deWindt Francis (both having similar surnames). Francis portrayed the character from March 31, 1989, until August 2, 1990, and again from March 9 to December 12, 1992. Shellye Broughton appeared for two episodes on January 28 and 29, 1993, with Renée Jones taking over on February 2, 1993, and remaining until the character's exit.

In April 2012, Jones confirmed in an interview with TV Guide's Michael Logan that she would vacate the role of Lexie Carver after 20 years and would retire into a simpler life, revealing that she is not happy in acting. Jones revealed that the exit of Lexie would likely be a permanent one. Jones last aired on June 28, 2012.
