Lindsay Monroe is a is a fictional character from the TV series CSI: NY. She is portrayed by actress Anna Belknap.

Formerly from Bozeman, Montana, Lindsay transferred to the New York crime lab at Mac's request after Aiden Burn was fired ("Zoo York"). Her fellow CSI Danny Messer calls her "Montana," which annoys her, but Medical Examiner Sid Hammerback notes that Danny calls her that because he is harboring a crush on her. Lindsay is good friends with Detective Stella Bonasera, who has given her some advice about living and working in the big city. She is known for Midwestern manners, such as taking off her shoes before entering a suspect's house. She takes her work seriously, especially when cases involve victims from small towns.

In episode 3.02, "Not What It Looks Like," Lindsay volunteers to go undercover to negotiate a hostage rescue, to which Danny objects. Her ruse is unsuccessful, however, and she must be rescued by the team. During the rescue, Danny is concerned only with finding Lindsay, and when he does, he holds her protectively in his arms. In the next episode, "Love Run Cold," Lindsay stands Danny up on a dinner date, and later admits to him that she does like him very much, but that she has unresolved issues to work through before entering into a relationship. In "Oedipus Hex," she reveals that she has difficulty dealing with mothers, which seems to indicate that she has a tumultuous relationship with her own mother.

In a recent episode, she has gotten a snake bite while investigating on a case. ("Sweet Sixteen")
