Diana Skouris is a fictional character in the USA Network science fiction television series The 4400.

Initially portrayed as somewhat cold and removed, Diana Skouris was partnered with Tom Baldwin in the pilot episode to investigate the 4400 returnees. She expresses displeasure at being partnered with him, declaring that "He went MIA once. Who's to say he won't do it again?"

Not much is revealed about Diana in the first season, but it is hinted that her relationship with her father is very poor. In the Pilot, when the staff of NTAC contact their relatives, Diana even seems to believe her father will not immediately recognize her name.

Diana gradually thaws somewhat, becoming a loyal partner and friend to Tom. The first 4400 abductee, eight-year-old Maia Rutledge, asks to move in with her in the season one episode "The New and Improved Carl Morrissey". Initially Diana is surprised at Maia'a request, thinking herself ill-suited to motherhood, and Maia observes "You don't like being alone either." Nevertheless, their relationship proceeds well, and Diana jokingly labels Maia "The grown-up one."

Diana is furious with Tom for hiding the truth about Shawn Farrell's healing ability, stating that she would have told him had the positions been reversed. When Tom plans to rescue his son, Kyle Baldwin, from the government, Diana immediately sets about helping him, arranging for him to break into Kyle's facility.

The adoption of Maia by Diana is finalised. Maia takes Diana's surname and the two call each other "mother" and "daughter" often.

Following Tom's relegation to desk duty for several months following his actions toward Warren Lytell, it is Diana who persuades new NTAC head Nina Jarvis to reinstate him as her partner. Diana is visibly shaken after she shoots dead a 4400 with the ability to fatally infect entire towns, a hint that Diana is becoming disenchanted with her role in NTAC.

For some time Diana believes that Maia has ceased having visions of the future. However, when she discovers that Maia had simply stopped talking about them, she receives a government writ to hand Maia's diary to NTAC for analysis. Seeing her refusal to betray her daughter, Marco Pacella writes a fake "Maia's diary", and hands that to the government. Marco has been interested in Diana for some time - first witnessed in the season one finale - and the act of kindness brings them closer together.
