Athena Massey (born 10 November 1967; age 56) is a California-born actress who played Jessen in the Star Trek: Voyager third season episode "Remember".

Massey made an inauspicious acting debut as a murder victim in the 1991 action film Out for Justice, a role for which she was uncredited. However, she went on to have the lead role in the 1995 thriller Undercover Heat, opposite Star Trek: Deep Space Nine guest actress Meg Foster. Later she had major supporting roles in CyberTracker (1995) and Virtual Combat (1996), both starring actor and martial arts expert Don "The Dragon" Wilson. A skilled martial artist and kickboxer herself, Massey performed her own stunts in these films. In the former film, she had the opportunity to work alongside fellow Voyager guest actors Anthony De Longis and John Kassir, while the latter film featured the voice of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine star Michael Dorn. Her other movie credits include the lead role in the 1996 made-for-television movie The Unspeakable opposite Deep Space Nine guest star Cyril O'Reilly, The Nutty Professor (1996), and roles in Poison Ivy: The New Seduction (1997), the 1998 sci-fi film Star Portal (co-starring Stephen Davies), and Molly (1999, featuring fellow Voyager guest star Musetta Vander).

Besides her appearance on Voyager, she has also made guest appearances on such TV shows as Doogie Howser, M.D. (starring James B. Sikking and Lawrence Pressman), The Larry Sanders Show (starring Wallace Langham, in an episode with Penny Johnson), and Seinfeld (with Jason Alexander and Heidi Swedberg). She also co-starred with fellow Star Trek alumni Daniel Benzali, Barbara Bosson, John Fleck, Anne Haney, Gregory Itzin, Jack Kehler, Natalia Nogulich, Conor O'Farrell, Clayton Rohner, Vanessa Williams, and Bruce Wright in a 1996 episode of Murder One and appeared in multiple episodes of Nash Bridges and Black Scorpion.

Despite all of this, Massey may be best known for her role as Lieutenant Eva Lee in the real-time strategy video game Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 and its sequel Yuri's Revenge.
