Seren Bundy-Davies (born 30 December 1994) is a Welsh track and field sprinter who competes in the 400 metres for Great Britain. She came to international prominence at the 2015 European Athletics Indoor Championships, winning bronze in the 400 metres and silver in the 4 × 400 metres relay. She won a Bronze medal in the 4 × 400 m relay at the 2015 World Championships in Athletics.
Born to Welsh parents in Greater Manchester, she grew up in the city and was educated at Wilmslow High School. After playing numerous sports in school, she was picked out at age 17 by coach Steve Ball of Trafford Athletic Club, after finishing 4th over 400m at English School's Championships.
Joining Trafford Athletic Club and coached by Ball, she now competes for TAC and the University of Manchester, where under a sport scholarship she is studying for a biomedical science degree. She broke through at national level in 2014, placing fourth at the British Athletics Championships. She was the Welsh senior champion that year, and improved her personal best to 52.50 seconds to become the Welsh record holder.
At the Birmingham Indoor Grand Prix at the start of 2015 she ran a personal best of 51.72 seconds to win the race. This run took Bundy-Davies top of the European Indoor rankings, and despite a fall in the British Athletics Indoor Championships, she was selected to represent Great Britain for the first time at the 2015 European Athletics Indoor Championships. There she won a bronze in the 400 metres, and a silver in 4 × 400 metres relay teamed with Laura Maddox, Kirsten McAslan and Kelly Massey.
