Lexa is a fictional character from the American post-apocalyptic science fiction television series The 100 on The CW. A recurring character, she does not appear in the books on which the series is based, and is portrayed by Alycia Debnam-Carey. The commander of the allied Grounder clans, Lexa is proven to be a reasonable and strong leader. She considers love a weakness, a view significantly impacted by the death of her girlfriend, Costia. Though she starts to show romantic feelings for Clarke Griffin (leader of the Sky People), and takes Clarke's views into consideration, she puts her people first, including at the expense of losing Clarke's trust.

Lexa has been well received by critics and fans, who consider her to be one of the show's more interesting and complex characters. She has been a source of frequent debate, including with regard to how she was written off the series. Her relationship with Clarke, which was viewed as compelling, significantly impacted the LGBT community, with many embracing it as a positive or tumultuous depiction of friendship, love and betrayal, and also criticizing it for being unnecessarily tragic.
