Tricia Cast (born November 16, 1966 in Medford, New York) is an American actress, best known for her role as Nina Webster on The Young and the Restless.

She first came to prominence on the television series The Bad News Bears in 1979. After years of acting in TV movies, she starred with Jason Bateman as his sister on the television series It's Your Move. This performance led to a short stint on the soap opera Santa Barbara.

Her most-recognized role stemmed from her first soap opera appearance. The casting directors of The Young and the Restless expressed interest, and wrote the character of unwed teenage mother Nina Webster into the storyline specifically for Cast. She started on the show in 1986 and her character matured considerably, marrying into the wealthy Chancellor family. It is unknown at this time if the character of Nina will ever resurface on Young and the Restless, because in 2006 storywriters altered the history of the show. Viewers are now lead to believe that the original Phillip, whom Nina married before he died in an automobile accident, was not Jill's son afterall but was switched at birth by Katherine Chancellor.

A lucrative role for Cast, she played the role of Nina until 2001. Cast also nabbed a Daytime Emmy Award win for Outstanding Younger Actress In a Drama Series in 1992.

From 1989 to 2000, Cast was married to Jack Allocco, one of the music supervisors for the program. Cast is currently married to Bat McGrath, whom she married on July 20, 2000.
