Prudence "Prue" Murdoch MacLeod /ˈmɜːrdɒk/, (née Murdoch; formerly Odey; born 1958) is an Australian media executive. Murdoch is the eldest child and first daughter of Australian-born American billionaire media proprietor Rupert Murdoch. She has held several directorial roles in her father's News Corporation, and is currently a board member of Times Newspapers Ltd, a subsidiary of News Corporation.

Prudence Murdoch was born in 1958 in Adelaide, South Australia. She is the eldest child and first daughter of Australian-born American media mogul Rupert Murdoch, and his first wife, Australian model Patricia Booker. She was raised in her birthplace of Adelaide, until 1968, 1 year after her parents divorce, when she moved to London with her father and stepmother Anna Torv, after her father had purchased the tabloid newspaper publishing company, News of the World. She received her secondary education at a state school in London, where she proved to be a poor student due to her behavior, and at the Dalton School in Manhattan after her family relocated to New York City. She did not receive tertiary education. After completing her education, Murdoch returned to London where she worked briefly as a journalist for News of the World.

Murdoch is described, in relation to her inheritance, "the only one of [Rupert Murdoch's] children not directly competing for his business affections". After her parents divorce, Murdoch's mother married a Swiss national and began to lead a life of partying, and had often neglected Murdoch. Despite a poor relationship with her own mother, Murdoch also had a poor relation with her stepmother, Anna Torv.
