Chandra Levy (April 14, 1977– probably May 1, 2001) was an intern who worked at the Federal Bureau of Prisons in Washington, D.C., and is notable for disappearing after allegedly having an affair with then-U.S. Representative Gary Condit, a Democrat representing California's 18th district, though the two events are not necessarily connected.

Levy was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and grew up in Modesto, California. She attended San Francisco State University earning a degree in journalism. After interning for the California Bureau of Secondary Education and working in the office of Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan, she began attending the University of Southern California to earn a Master's degree in Public Administration. As part of her studies, she moved to Washington, D.C., to become an intern with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, although shortly before her death, this was abruptly terminated when her academic eligibility was found to have expired. She had previously completed her degree requirements and was scheduled to return to California for graduation.

On May 1, 2001, police said she had disappeared and controversy surrounding her disappearance was a main topic of American news headlines for the months prior to the September 11, 2001 attacks. The resulting publicity contributed to Condit's failure to win his party's re-nomination, and thus re-election, to his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Levy's parents, Robert and Susan Levy of Modesto, held numerous vigils and news conferences in an attempt to "bring Chandra home."

Condit, a married man who represented the congressional district where the Levy family resided, at first denied that he had had an affair. His later statements left open the possibility of an affair. Even though police repeatedly stated that Condit was not a suspect, many in the popular media—along with Levy's family and much of the American public—suspected that Condit was still hiding important information about the intern's disappearance. This suspicion was deepened when Condit tried to avoid answering direct questions during a televised interview with news anchor Connie Chung on August 23, 2001. Condit later appeared before a District of Columbia grand jury investigating the disappearance.

District of Columbia Police Chief Charles Ramsey announced on May 22, 2002, that remains matching Levy's dental records were found by a man walking his dog and looking for turtles in Rock Creek Park near Levy's apartment in northwest Washington, D.C. Police had previously searched well over half the area of the 2,000-acre (8 km²) park, which Levy had visited on many occasions, after determining that someone had used Levy's laptop computer to do an internet search for the park's Klingle Mansion on the day police believed she went missing.

Police stated that they had not searched this particular area before due to its remoteness. Her remains were found a mile (1.6 km) north of the mansion and about four miles (6 km) away from Levy's apartment. After a preliminary autopsy was performed, District of Columbia police announced that there was sufficient evidence to begin a homicide investigation. Then on May 28, the District of Columbia medical examiner officially declared that Levy's death was the result of homicide.

Police interviewed Ingmar Guandique, a Salvadoran national incarcerated for assaulting two women in the park. Washington police chief Charles H. Ramsey called him a "person of interest". Police administered a polygraph test, which he passed.

As of April 2005, the Levy homicide is listed as a "cold case" on the DC police website, and the FBI says that their investigation remains open.

Levy's disappearance came two years after the disappearance and declared homicide, under similar circumstances, of Immigration and Naturalization Service attorney Joyce Chiang. The office of Levy's presumed lover, Condit, was just one door away from the office of Congressman Howard Berman, where Chiang interned. Levy's apartment building was four blocks away from Chiang's former building. Levy's remains were found in a DC federal parkland area, as were Chiang's belongings, and presumably her , before it awashed in a nearby river. Both were attractive, young, brunette women of petite stature and semi-'ethnic' appearance. These similarities have led to various theories that both women were killed by the same man, with most theories typically assigning blame to Condit.
