Tiffany Welles is a fictional character in the television series Charlie's Angels. She was played by Shelley Hack and her debut coincided with the 4th season premiere Love Boat Angels which was a crossover with fellow ABC hit The Love Boat.

Unlike the previous Angels, who are all from California, Tiffany is a native of Boston. She is more refined and educated than the others, pledging Kappa Omega Psi in college, graduating top in her class from the Boston police academy, playing the violin, and speaking Latin. Her father, Lieutenant Welles, is also a longtime friend of Charlie's.

Tiffany is not given a big opening debut in "Love Boat Angels", and she remains a peripheral character for the first several weeks of the fourth season. The first attempts to give any significant depth to her character did not occur until the episodes "Angels on Campus" and "Angel Hunt", which aired November 28 and December 5, respectively. The former episode establishes Tiffany's background and character while the latter solidifies her relationship with Kelly and Kris. Tiffany begins to find her place at the Townsend Agency in the second half of the season, but the producers did not ask Hack to return to the show. Much like Sabrina Duncan's departure, Tiffany is explained away in the following season opener, and is never seen or mentioned again, even in the final episode's clip show.
