Chantel Riley (born June 27, 1986) is a Jamaican Canadian actress.

Riley made her stage debut in 2011 playing the character of Nala in a German production of The Lion King in Hamburg. The following year she played the same character on Broadway.[1]

A move into film followed and she made her debut in the Jesse Owens biopic Race.[2] TV work includes the role of Kate in Wynonna Earp and the co-leading role of Trudy Clarke in Frankie Drake Mysteries.[2] In 2019, she starred in the USA Network drama series Pearson.[3]

She has also voice acted in the Assassin's Creed games, voicing Layla Hassan in Assassin's Creed Origins, Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Assassin's Creed: Valhalla.

In 2016, Riley was mentioned in an episode of Impractical Jokers where fictitious claims were made about her, including that she was "pulled from the rainforest", was "infected with a disease that killed half of Brazil", and made a song named "Boom, Bap, Imma Touch It".
