Sue Carpenter (born 17 May 1956 in London, England) is a United Kingdom former newsreader and television presenter. She graduated in English Literature and Icelandic at King's College London in 1977.

After presenting regional BBC news programme Points West, Carpenter was a newsreader on the BBC's Breakfast Time from 1985 to 1986.[1][2] She later joined ITN, presenting many of their main bulletins, usually during the daytime and the early evening news.

Her name is frequently mentioned, often comedically as a figure of infatuation, in the British television comedy programme series Bottom, starring Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson, and in one episode a signed photo of her is portrayed as a prize in a game of poker.

As of 2012, Carpenter continued to present Transworld Sport on Channel Four in voice only.
