Delta Goodrem (Delta Lea Goodrem, born November 9, 1984) is an Australian singer, songwriter and actress. She has nine number-one singles and 17 top-ten hits on the ARIA Singles Chart, has sold more than eight million albums worldwide, and has won 12 ARIA Music Awards, three World Music Awards and an MTV Video Music Award.

Born and raised in Sydney, she began playing piano at seven, appeared in commercials and small television roles as a child, and signed with Sony Music in 1999 at the age of 15. In 2002 she joined the soap opera Neighbours as Nina Tucker, a shy schoolgirl who wants to be a singer, and the piano ballad "Born to Try", which premiered on the show, reached number one on the ARIA Singles Chart. Her debut studio album, Innocent Eyes (2003), spent a total of 29 weeks at number one on the ARIA Albums Chart and is one of the best-selling albums in Australian history. In July 2003, at 18, she was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma and put her career on hold for treatment; her second album, Mistaken Identity (2004), was recorded during that treatment and became her second number-one album. Delta (2007), Wings of the Wild (2016) and Bridge over Troubled Dreams (2021) also topped the albums chart.

Her music is mainly pop and adult contemporary and relies heavily on the piano, which she usually plays barefoot in live performances. From 2012 to 2020 she was a coach for eight seasons of The Voice Australia, and in 2014 she coached The Voice Kids. She played Olivia Newton-John in the biopic Olivia Newton-John: Hopelessly Devoted to You, and since 2020 she has hosted an annual Christmas special on the Nine Network. She was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) in 2022, and in 2026 she represented Australia at the Eurovision Song Contest with "Eclipse", finishing fourth.
