Sarah Scullin (née McNamara; 1880 - 31 May 1962) was the wife of James Scullin, Prime Minister of Australia.

She was born in Ballarat, Victoria.[1] While her husband was Prime Minister they lived not in The Lodge but in Hotel Canberra, because he saw it[clarification needed] as a wasteful extravagance.[2]
