Kimberly Claire "Kimmie" Meissner (born October 4, 1989) is an American figure skater. She is the 2007 U.S. National Champion, the 2007 Four Continents Champion, and the 2006 World Champion. She is the second American woman to land the triple Axel in competition, and the first American and the first lady to simultaneously hold the following titles: World, Four Continents, and National.

Meissner was born in Towson, Maryland in 1989. She trains in Newark, Delaware where she belongs to the University of Delaware Figure Skating Club. Meissner lives in Maryland with her family. She and her family are Roman Catholic.

She graduated Fallston High School in May 2007. She currently attends The University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware part time.

As a child, she began figure skating after watching her older brothers playing ice hockey.

Meissner had a successful novice and junior career, winning the Novice and Junior national titles back-to-back in 2003 and 2004. In 2004, she won the silver medal behind Miki Ando at the World Junior Figure Skating Championships.

The following year, at age 15, she won the bronze medal at the senior 2005 U.S. Championships. At that competition, she became the first American woman since Tonya Harding to land a triple Axel in competition. Meissner's third place finish behind Sasha Cohen and Michelle Kwan would normally have earned her a spot on the U.S. team to the 2005 World Championships, but she was unable to compete there due to the age limits set by the International Skating Union. Too young for senior worlds, Meissner was instead sent to the 2005 Junior Worlds, where she placed fourth. She attended the 2005 World Championships in Moscow, Russia as a spectator.

For the 2005/2006 Olympic season, Meissner moved to the senior level. She competed on the Grand Prix circuit and qualified for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy after placing 2nd behind Sasha Cohen at the U.S. Championships. At the Winter Olympics, Meissner placed fifth in the short program and sixth overall. Following the Olympics, Meissner competed in her first senior World Championships and took home the gold, upsetting favorites Sasha Cohen and Fumie Suguri. During the free skate, Meissner completed seven triple jumps, including two triple-triple combinations, and received a personal best score of 189.87. This win made her the first woman since Kristi Yamaguchi to win a world title before a national title. Meissner is also the first woman to win Worlds on her first appearance since Oksana Baiul in 1993.

Meissner began the 2006/2007 season by winning two medals on the Grand Prix of Figure Skating circuit. However, due to the deep fields in both her events, she was not able to qualify for the Grand Prix Final. She went into the 2007 United States Figure Skating Championships as the clear favorite, and "filled in the gap" in her resume by winning her first senior national title. This made her the first ladies skater since Barbara Roles to win the national title on the Novice, Junior, and Senior levels.

Meissner went on to the 2007 Four Continents Championships where she became the first U.S. ladies champion to become the Four Continents Champion. From there, she went to the 2007 World Figure Skating Championships. At the 2007 World Championships, Meissner achieved a personal best for her short program where she placed fourth but failed to complete either of her triple-triple combinations in the long program, placing third in the long program and fourth overall.

Meissner has been assigned to two Grand Prix assignments for the 2007-2008 season. Meissner won her first Grand Prix event, Skate America, over reigning World Champion Miki Ando. She then placed second at the 2007 Trophée Eric Bompard.

As of November 25, 2007, Meissner is ranked third in the world.

When Meissner returned from the 2006 World Figure Skating Championships, a parade was held in her honor in her hometown of Bel Air, and, shortly thereafter, the town gave one of its main roads, Pennsylvania Avenue, the honorary title of Kimmie Way. She starred in a local Subway commercial and threw out the ceremonial first pitch for her hometown team, the Baltimore Orioles, on April 14, and also at the Phillies opening day game.

As a result of her high-profile skating career, Meissner has landed three major endorsement deals with Subway, VISA, and Under Armour. Meissner is also involved with Cool Kids - an organization for kids with cancer.
