Sandra Sully (born February 1965 in Brisbane) is the senior news anchor with Network Ten, an Australian television network. She anchors Ten's Late News from Monday to Thursday and often fills in for Ten's 5:00pm news presenters around the country generally in Sydney or Perth.

Australia's longest serving national news anchor, Sully began at Channel Seven in Brisbane, and has been at Ten since 1991 when she worked as a political correspondent in the network's Canberra bureau. She moved to TEN-10 Sydney as a reporter, update presenter and, later, as weekend late-night anchor for Ten Eyewitness News. Sandra's big break came in 1992 when she worked as co-anchor on Good Morning Australia with Mike Hammond and, later, Ron Wilson. The following year, the pair moved from dawn to dusk presenting TEN-10 Sydney's 5:00pm news. In late 1995, following the departure of Anne Fulwood, Sully became the regular weeknight anchor for Ten Late News, a position she continues to hold.

Sully was the first Australian television journalist to cover news of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.^[1] She was on air when the first attack occurred and, shortly afterwards, began anchoring live, breaking coverage.^[2] Sully was also the first television reporter to broadcast from the site of the 1997 Thredbo landslide disaster, in which 17 people were killed. She covered the rescue efforts until sole survivor Stuart Diver was rescued in dramatic fashion.

During her time with Ten, Sully has become the face of Ten News and hosted various specials, including the anniversaries of September 11 and the 2002 Bali bombings as well as a science and nature documentary series that aired, prime time, for several months. Sully hosted the Australian of the Year Awards program, presented from Canberra on Australia Day eve, from 2002 to 2007. Through 2005 and 2006, Sully hosted various specials of Network Ten's Australia's Brainiest. She also regularly hosts the New Year's Eve special of Ten News, reviewing the major news events of the year. She has also informed the finalists of Big Brother Australia 2005, 2006 and 2007 of newsworthy events that occurred during their time in the "house", in the style of a Ten News broadcast.

Sully is a keen sports fan,^[3] and covered the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria, Canada and the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta. She was the first woman to co-host Australia's iconic Melbourne Cup carnival and did so for seven years.^[4]

In 2006, a character based on Sully named "Sandra Sultry" featured in The Wedge, a comedy sketch show based around the fictional town of Wedgedale. "Sultry" was a news reporter who constantly revealed her legs, talked in a seductive, husky voice and chatted with other people in the studio while the cameras were running. This was perhaps to parody her conversations with sports anchor Brad McEwan.

Sully was the victim of a stalker in late November, 1997. She was pistol-whipped in the car park of her home after returning from work. The incident prompted Sully to be fiercly private about her personal life, and she often has security guards around her for public appearances. Her attacker was never caught.

Sully was married to former journalist and political adviser Mark Ryan. They divorced in 2001.
