Diana Fowley is a fictional character on the FOX television show The X-Files. She was played by Mimi Rogers and first appeared in episode the fifth season finale "The End".

In keeping with the show's history of ambiguity, Fowley's motivations were never explained, although many viewers assumed her to be deeply associated with the Syndicate conspirators and working against Mulder in his pursuit of the truth within the X-Files. An old flame of FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder, additional tension was generated on the show and amongst viewers as a result of a perceived rekindling of her former close personal relationship with agent Mulder and the possibility of Fowley coming between him and his trusted partner, Special Agent Dana Scully (played by Gillian Anderson).

The character of Diana Fowley subsequently vanished during "The Sixth Extinction II: Amor Fati", her absence explained away vaguely by Agent Scully with the claim that she was murdered ("Diana Fowley was found murdered this morning"), although her death or body was never witnessed, typically leaving the truth unrevealed. Most viewers rejoiced at the news of her "death" as she was widely disliked in X-Files fandom, her character being vilified online and in fanfiction, as well as being subject to numerous parodies.
