Monique Wright (born 18 May 1974) is an Australian journalist and television personality.
Wright received national exposure as the weather presenter on the Seven Network's national breakfast program, Sunrise during 2007, being promoted from feature reporter to replace former weather presenter Grant Denyer.
As a member of the Seven News team, Monique has covered many events such as Cyclone Larry, travelled to several Olympic Games as a roving reporter and in 2005, travelled to each finalist city in the bid for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games.
On 16 December 2007, it was announced that Monique would be stepping down from her position as Weather presenter on Sunrise for an expanded role at Seven in 2008. Seven News weather presenter David Brown replaced Wright on Sunrise in January 2008.
Monique was to participate in "The Great Walk to Beijing 2008", raising money and awareness for Olivia Newton-John's wellness centre, but the event did not occur.
In February 2009, Chris Bath took over presenting Seven 4.30 News on Fridays, due to Monique's reporting duties on Sunday Night.
Monique gave birth to her first child, a boy, Ettienne Antony Wright Scanlan in March 2010 who weighed in at 3.5 kg.
Wright is now a regular fill in presenter for Samantha Armytage on Weekend Sunrise.

“The life-fate of the modern individual depends not only upon the family into which he was born or which he enters by marriage, but increasingly upon the corporation in which he spends the most alert hours of his best years.”
