Emma Lee Bunton (born 21 January 1976) is an English singer, songwriter, media personality, and actress. She rose to fame in the 1990s as a member of the pop group the Spice Girls, in which she was nicknamed Baby Spice, reflecting the fact that she was the youngest member. With over 100 million records sold worldwide, the Spice Girls are the best-selling female group of all time. The group went on an indefinite hiatus in 2000, before reuniting for a greatest hits album (2007) and two concert tours: the Return of the Spice Girls (2007–2008) and Spice World (2019).

Bunton began her solo career with the release of her debut studio album, A Girl Like Me (2001), which debuted at number four on the UK Albums Chart, and was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry. The album spawned the successful singles "What Took You So Long?", "What I Am" and "Take My Breath Away". Her second studio album, Free Me (2004), included the top-five single "Free Me", and the top-ten singles "Maybe" and "I'll Be There". Bunton's third studio album Life in Mono (2006), produced the successful single "Downtown". In 2019, she released her fourth studio album, My Happy Place.

Bunton has served as a judge on television talent shows, including Dancing on Ice (2010–2011), Your Face Sounds Familiar (2013), and Boy Band (2017). She competed on the fourth series of the BBC One dancing show Strictly Come Dancing in 2006. From 2013 to 2018, Bunton was a co-presenter on the Heart Breakfast radio show in London alongside Jamie Theakston. As of December 2024, she currently presents her own show for Heart Radio on Sunday evenings.
