Kirsty Jane Gallacher (born Edinburgh, Scotland; January 20, 1976) is a British television presenter often specialising in sport programmes. The daughter of the former Ryder Cup captain, Bernard Gallacher, she graduated from the London College of Fashion, and began work as a production assistant before moving on to the position of editorial assistant on Sky Sports.

Since 2000 she has hosted the Sky One show Kirsty's Home Videos, a satellite equivalent of ITV's You've Been Framed in which viewers send in purportedly entertaining home videos to be screened. In 2002 she presented the morning show RI:SE, and in 2004 began the show Simply the Best. She has made guest appearances on They Think It's All Over and A Question of Sport, and she was a regular guest on the fifth series of Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway.
