Myfanwy "Myf" Warhurst (born 29 May 1974) is an Australian radio announcer and television personality, best known for her work at Triple J and on ABC Television's long-running music-themed quiz show Spicks and Specks. Before her career as a radio announcer and TV personality, she was editor-in-chief of Melbourne street press Inpress.

Warhurst was born in Portland, Victoria. She has two older brothers named Kit and Andre. Kit plays drums in the band Rocket Science. Warhurst's family moved to Donald in central Victoria when she was a child, then to Red Cliffs in northwest Victoria when she was eight years old.

Working as a radio announcer at Triple J, Warhurst came to the attention of the station's audience through short bi-weekly segments for Merrick and Rosso's Drive program in 2000. In 2001, Warhurst began hosting the Net 50 request program on Saturday nights, and in 2003, came to prominence as host of the weekday Lunch shift and her daily segment The Trashy Lunchtime Quiz. In January 2007 she joined Jay and the Doctor in hosting The Breakfast Show as Myf, Jay and the Doctor.

It was announced on 10 October 2007 that she would leave Triple J and co-host a new breakfast show with comedian Peter Helliar and take over the Triple M Melbourne breakfast spot from The Cage, who finished up in November 2007. However, in July 2009 Pete & Myf's breakfast was axed due to poor ratings finishing on 31 July. In December 2009, Myf returned to the ABC to host the summertime afternoon program on ABC Local Radio.
