Delvene Delaney (born August 26, 1951) is an Australian actor and television presenter.

The beauty pageant winner found fame on Australian television in the 1970s, initially as weather presenter on Brisbane television. She followed this with stints in soap operas The Box as Penny O'Brien in 1974, and The Young Doctors as nurse Jojo Adams in 1976 - 1977.

Though both these serials were popular, Delaney became better known as a recurring cast member of The Paul Hogan Show in the late 1970s. She also made regular appearances as a panel member on the top-rated Blankety Blanks in 1977-1979. In the early 1980s she was co-presenter on the popular quiz show Sale of the Century.

Delaney has been married to The Paul Hogan Show co-star John Cornell since the 1970s. They have two children, Allira and Liana. They now own and run the Beach Hotel, the most recognised pub in Byron Bay, New South Wales.
