Carmela Tiangco-Cornejo popularly known as 'Mel Tiangco' (born August 10, 1955) is a popular television newscaster and television host in the Philippines.

Tiangco was a newscaster at ABS-CBN however after taking part in a Tide TV ad in mid-1995 she was suspended from the network as newscasters of ABS-CBN are prohibited to endorse a product. This led to her exile to GMA Network, joining Jay Sonza. She currently co-anchors GMA Network's evening newscast, 24 Oras with Mike Enriquez. She is also the host of the now-defunct weekly drama anthology Magpakailanman and a co-host for Mel and Joey with comedian-TV host-writer Joey de Leon, which has been cancelled after seven years, with its last airing on July 10, 2011 to give way to a planned talent show that would compete with other rival networks.

Off camera, she is the mother of Wency Cornejo, a musician best known as the lead vocalist of the now-defunct Philippine rock band After Image (active in the 90s). She is also involved in philanthropic work as the Executive Vice President of the GMA Kapuso Foundation, the network's socio-civic arm.
