Selina Scott (b.13 May 1951) is a former British TV presenter, best known as a news reader for ITN and for co-hosting the first dedicated breakfast television programme in the UK, on BBC1.

She quit Breakfast Time in 1986, due to differences with co-host Frank Bough and producers, but was quickly offered another programme, The Clothes Show, by the BBC. She also presented the chat show Wogan, standing in for the regular host.

Selina is the eldest of five children, and was born in Scarborough to a journalist mother and police officer father. She currently runs her own clothes business, and is an active campaigner for causes such as animal welfare and wildlife conservation.
