凯尔派(Kelpie)是一种流传于凯尔特民间传说中的一种会变形的精灵,在苏格兰的传说中常以骏马的型态出现在湖边,诱拐或欺骗旅人。

对某些人而言,凯尔派与另一种极为相似的生物「水马」“each uisge”是不同的:凯尔派专指在淡水湖或河流的水妖精,在苏格兰当地的传说中,每座湖泊、河流都有守护它们的凯尔派,这些凯尔派会主动保护自己地域,因此每当有旅人接近,它就会化身为一只会唤惑旅人的少女或黑马、白马或俊男,当旅人骑上去后,就再也无法下来,然后凯尔派就会迅速跳至湖中,淹死不幸的旅人,以保护它守护的地方;而水马则只出没于咸水边,除了将人溺死外,还会吃掉受害者的身体,仅留下肝脏,比凯尔派更让人恐惧。

Kelpie, or water kelpie, is the Scots name given to a shape-shifting water spirit inhabiting the lochs and pools of Scotland. It has usually been described as appearing as a horse, but is able to adopt human form. Some accounts state that the kelpie retains its hooves when appearing as a human, leading to its association with the Christian idea of Satan as alluded to by Robert Burns in his 1786 poem "Address to the Deil".
