Starlight Glimmer is a fictional character who appears in the fourth incarnation of Hasbro's My Little Pony toyline and media franchise, beginning with My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (2010–2019). She was introduced as the main antagonist of the season five premiere before becoming a prominent recurring character of the series. She is voiced by Kelly Sheridan.

Starlight is depicted as a powerful and intelligent anthropomorphic unicorn with exceptional magical abilities. Initially presented as the leader of a cult-like village where she enforced artificial equality by removing ponies' cutie marks, she is later reformed and becomes one of Twilight Sparkle's students. Throughout her character arc, she struggles with themes of control, friendship, and redemption.
