Christina Scull, born in 1942 in Bristol, England, is a British researcher and writer regarded, with her husband Wayne G. Hammond, as one of the foremost scholars of J. R. R. Tolkien. She studied art history and medieval history at Birkbeck College, London, and served from 1971 to 1995 as Librarian of Sir John Soane's Museum.
With Hammond she has co-authored many of the cornerstone works of Tolkien scholarship, including J.R.R. Tolkien: Artist and Illustrator, The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion, and the encyclopedic two-volume J.R.R. Tolkien Companion and Guide, as well as the art volumes devoted to The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
She has edited several of Tolkien's own writings from manuscript and, since the early 1990s, has produced the occasional journal The Tolkien Collector. Her independent work includes a study of the Hogarth pictures at the Soane Museum.
Scull and Hammond have together won the Mythopoeic Scholarship Award for Inklings Studies several times and are recognized as authorities on Tolkien's biography, bibliography, and the development of his texts.
