Special Agent Dana Katherine Scully, M.D. is a fictional character on the Fox television series The X-Files (1993-2002). She also appeared in two theatrical films based on the series, played by Gillian Anderson. Younger versions of the character were played by Tegan Moss, Joey Shea, and Zoe Anderson (Gillian's sister).

She is a Special Agent of the United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation, partnered most often with fellow Special Agent Fox Mulder. In the TV series, they work out of a cramped basement office at FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C. to investigate unsolved cases labeled "X-Files"; as of the second film, Dana had left government employ and taken a job as a surgeon in a private Catholic hospital. In contrast to Fox Mulder's credulous "believer" character, Scully is the skeptic, choosing to base her beliefs on what science can prove.

She escapes death several times over the course of the show, with at least two episodes hinting that she may be immortal. She has appeared in every episode of The X-Files as well as the 20th Century-Fox films The X-Files, released in 1998 (sometimes subtitled Fight the Future), and The X-Files: I Want to Believe, released 10 years later, with the exception of "3", "Zero Sum", "Unusual Suspects", "Travelers", and "The Gift".
