Carmela Tiangco-Cornejo, popularly known as Mel Tiangco (born August 10, 1955) is a popular television newscaster and television host in the Philippines.

After graduating from De La Salle University, she became one of the leading presenters in Philippine television journal programmes. She first gained fame by being one of the original anchors of ABS-CBN's flagship newscast TV Patrol from 1987 to 1996. Currently, Tiangco co-anchors GMA Network's evening newscast, 24 Oras with Mike Enriquez and since 2014 Vicky Morales. She was also the host of the weekly drama anthology Magpakailanman and a co-host for Mel and Joey with comedian-TV host-writer Joey de Leon.

She is the mother of Wency Cornejo, a musician best known as the lead vocalist of the now-defunct Philippine rock band AfterImage (active in the 1990s). She is also involved in philanthropic work at the GMA Kapuso Foundation, the network's socio-civic arm. Tiangco served as the foundation's Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer until April 2016.
