Monique Wright (born 18 May 1974) is an Australian journalist and television personality. She received national exposure as the weather presenter on the Seven Network's national breakfast program, Sunrise during 2007, being promoted from feature reporter to replace former weather presenter Grant Denyer.

As a member of the Seven News team, Monique has covered many events such as Cyclone Larry, travelled to several Olympic Games as a roving reporter and in 2005, travelled to each finalist city in the bid for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games.

On December 16, 2007, it was announced that Monique would be stepping down from her position as Weather presenter on Sunrise for an expanded role at Seven in 2008. She will assist in presenting the network's Beijing Olympics coverage, read the 4.30 News each Friday and will sit on the panel of 7HD's new late night talk show, "The NightCap".

She will still be involved with Sunrise as an All-Star panellist, through the resurrection of her "Everyday People" segment and as anchor of "On The Spot", where she will report from the location of the day's big news story. Seven News weather presenter David Brown replaced Wright on Sunrise in January 2008.

Monique was to participate in "The Great Walk to Beijing 2008", raising money and awareness for Olivia Newton-John's wellness centre, although this is no longer happening.

In February 2009, Chris Bath took over presenting Sevens 4.30 News on Fridays, due to Monique's reporting duties on Sunday Night

It looked on last night's Sunday Night show that Monique is Pregnant I didn't know she was hitched!
