Crystal Emmanuel-Ahye (born November 27, 1991) is a Canadian sprinter who specialises in the 200 metres. She is the Canadian champion in both the 100 m and 200 m as of July 2018. Crystal also holds the 200 m record for Canada, having broken a record that stood for 34 years. She competed in this event at the 2012, 2016 and 2020 Summer Olympics, but was eliminated in the semi-finals. At the 2013 World Championships in Athletics, she was eliminated in the heats after being disqualified for a lane infringement.

She has also run as part of the Canadian 4 × 100 m relay team, and is part of the team that holds the Canadian record. Set at the 2015 World Championships, Emmanuel-Ahye ran the first leg of the relay. It broke the Canadian record set at the 2013 World Championships, where Emmanuel-Ahye also ran the lead off leg.

When Emmanuel-Ahye won the 100 and 200 m titles at the Canadian Championships in 2011, she was the first woman to win both events since 2003. She repeated the feat in 2016, 2017 and 2018. Her race in the 200 m final at the 2017 World Championship was the first time a Canadian woman ran in the World Championship 200 m final since 1983.

Her 100 m personal best was set at the 2018 NANAC Championships.

Her mother Rosalind Emmanuel competed internationally for Barbados in athletics in the 1980s.

She is married to Trinidadian and Tobagonian sprinter Michelle-Lee Ahye.
