Sarah Scullin (née McNamara; 1880 – 31 May 1962) was the wife of James Scullin, the 9th Prime Minister of Australia.

She was born in Ballarat, Victoria. While her husband was Prime Minister they lived not in The Lodge but in Hotel Canberra, because he saw it as a wasteful extravagance.

Scullin died on 31 May 1962 and was buried with her pre-deceased husband within the Catholic section of Melbourne General Cemetery. The Scullins had no children.
