Kalyssa Priscilla "Kiki" Van Zanten (born 25 August 2001) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for the Houston Dash of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL). Born in the United States, she represents Jamaica internationally. She played college soccer for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Early life Van Zanten was born to a Jamaican mother and an American father of Dutch descent.

Club career Van Zanten was drafted 21st overall by the Houston Dash in the 2024 NWSL Draft and signed a one-year contract with a one-year option in March 2024. She made 4 appearances in her rookie season before missing the remainder of the year with a season-ending foot injury. While in convalescence, Van Zanten signed a new contract with the Dash to keep her in Houston through the 2026 NWSL season. She scored her first professional goal on August 2, 2025, meeting a cross from Avery Patterson in a 2–2 draw with Bay FC.

In the Dash's second match of 2026, Van Zanten recorded a brace against Boston Legacy FC, becoming the first Houston player to record a multi-goal game since Diana Ordóñez in 2024. Van Zanten also appeared to score a third goal later on in the match, but a late offside call prevented her from registering her first career hat trick.
