Nancy Louise Kyes (b. December 19, 1949 in Falls Church, Virginia, USA) is an American actress who has starred in films and on television. In most of her film appearances, she is credited as Nancy Loomis.

She is best known for her role as the teenage babysitter, Annie Brackett, in John Carpenter's 1978 horror classic Halloween.

Before starring in Halloween, she played Julie in the 1976 thriller Assault on Precinct 13, also directed by Carpenter. In addition to acting, she served as this film's wardrobe mistress, but she used a different name for each of her film credits ("Louise Kyes" for the wardrobe mistress credit and "Nancy Loomis" for her acting credit).

In 1980, Kyes played the role of Sandy Fadel in Carpenter's hit horror film The Fog, in which she appeared with her Halloween co-star Jamie Lee Curtis, her Assault on Precinct 13 co-star Darwin Joston, and Charles Cyphers, who appeared with Kyes in both Halloween and Assault on Precinct 13. Kyes worked once again with John Carpenter for the 1983 cult-classic Halloween III: Season of the Witch. In this third installment of the series, Kyles plays ex-wife to genre legend Tom Atkins (actor)'s character.

Her only guest appearance on television was on The Twilight Zone. She did star in a few TV movies. Today, she works as a sculptor in the Los Angeles area. She admitted in an interview to the official Halloween website "www.halloweenmovies.com/" that she still owns the shoes she wore when filming Halloween.

Kyes attended high school in Riverside, California. She studied theater at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois.
