Melissa Barrera Martínez (born 4 July 1990) is a Mexican actress and singer. Her career began with roles in the telenovelas Siempre tuya Acapulco (2013), Tanto amor (2015), and Netflix produced series Club de Cuervos (2017). She gained further recognition for her lead role in the Starz drama series Vida (2018–2020).

She is also set to appear in the upcoming slasher horror film Scream (2022) and to star in the title role of the musical film Carmen.

In 2012 she participated in two telenovelas, La mujer de Judas and La otra cara del alma. In 2010 while still in college (New York University) she participated in the film L for Leisure. In 2014 she obtained her first starring role in the telenovela, Siempre tuya Acapulco. In 2015, she starred in the last telenovela produced by TV Azteca, Tantor amor.

In 2021, Barrera starred as Vanessa, an aspiring fashion designer and love interest of the narrator, Usnavi, in the Jon M. Chu directed musical film In the Heights, an adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda's stage musical. The film earned widespread critical acclaim, with Monica Castillo of The Wrap praising Barrera's performance: "Vanessa’s upbeat salsa anthem, 'It Won’t Be Long Now', is perhaps one of the more underrated sequences: It's an impressive showcase for Barrera's talents, giving her a wide range of emotions to move through in one number and one of the few moments in the musical to belt out.".
