Betty Margaret Kiernan (born 27 August 1955) is an Australian politician. Born in Mount Isa, Queensland, she was an electorate officer and corporate manager before entering politics, and had served on Cloncurry Shire Council from 1981 to 1990. A member of the Labor Party, she was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Queensland in 2006 as the member for Mount Isa.
She lost her seat in the 2012 state election amid Labor's collapse that year, particularly in regional Queensland. She was actually pushed into third place on the primary vote, behind winner Rob Katter of Katter's Australian Party and the Liberal National candidate.
