Kassie DePaiva (born Katherine Virginia Wesley on March 21, 1961 in Morganfield, Kentucky) is an American soap opera actress. She is credited prior to 1996 as Kassie Wesley.

She has played two major soap roles: Chelsea Reardon on Guiding Light (1986-1991) and Blair Daimler Cramer Buchanan Maning Manning Holden Manning Laurence Manning on One Life to Live. She has played the role on One Life to Live since 1993, when she replaced Mia Korf (who very briefly played the role). Blair is one of few characters on soap operas that actually changed ethnicity; Miss Korf was half-Asian while Wesley was white.
