Christina McKinney is a fictional character in the American comedy-drama series Ugly Betty, portrayed by Ashley Jensen.

The character leaves the show in the third season, but returns for the episode "London Calling" in the fourth season.

Christina emigrated to the United States from Edinburgh, Scotland, and is one of ten children; she is a seamstress who works at MODE magazine and calls her office "The Closet" because of the leftover fashion designs she has in her space, which she uses to whip up new outfits from time to time. Christina later finds out her workspace once served as a passageway to a secret hideaway for Bradford Meade and the late Fey Sommers.

Her knowledge of what goes on at her workplace inside and out comes in handy as she becomes fast friends and forms an alliance with new co-worker Betty Suarez. She aspires to be a fashion designer.

She finally gets the chance to show off her designs in the episode "I'm Coming Out", only to learn Wilhelmina Slater chose her show to set up for the return of Alexis Meade, who helped bring down Bradford Meade by framing him for the murder of Fey Sommers. Prior to the episode "In or Out", Wilhelmina had tricked Christina into turning in a package to the police in order to frame Bradford. Wilhelmina uses that to manipulate Christina into serving as her minion. However, when Wilhelmina threatens to blame her for turning in the evidence by lying to Betty, Christina has no choice but to go along. When Christina came clean to Betty in "Punch Out", Betty ends their friendship. The two make up in "Petra-Gate", however, when Betty realizes that she needs Christina more than ever to gets information about Wilhelmina's schemes.
