Kirstene Hair (born 1989) is a Scottish Conservative Party politician. She was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Angus in June 2017.

Hair was born in Brechin, Angus, and was raised among a large farming family. She studied at the University of Aberdeen from 2007–2011, graduating with a degree in politics.

Hair was previously the Conservative candidate for Angus South in the 2016 Scottish Parliament election, being defeated by incumbent Scottish National Party MSP Graeme Dey, with an increased share of the vote (+15.3) for the Conservatives. Prior to her election as an MP, Hair worked for publishers DC Thomson.

Hair was elected to parliament in 2017, overturning a large majority to unseat the SNP's chief whip Mike Weir in a sequence of seat gains for the Scottish Conservatives. Hair is the first Conservative representative for the area since 1987, and will sit as one of the youngest MPs in parliament.
