Siân Lloyd (b. July 3, 1958) is an ITV Weather presenter. She was born in Maesteg, Bridgend in Wales.

Siân is a big fan of the BBC cult television show The Avengers (TV series) and whilst working as an S4C in-vision continuity announcer she would often enthusiastically introduce The Avengers on a Saturday night whilst dressed in a variety of leather outfits. During a themed premiere of The Avengers (film) she dressed in a skin-tight black catsuit, for which she won the prize for best costume [link]. She rose to further fame when she appeared in I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!, and is seen on television advertising Arthur Llewelyn-Jenkins furniture stores in her homeland, Wales. (She is a fluent Welsh language speaker.)

She is engaged to Lembit Öpik, the MP for Montgomeryshire, whom she will marry in 2006.

She appeared on Celebrity Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? with Lembit on 15 April, 2006, winning £64,000 for charity.
