Melanie Pullen (born New York City 1975) is a American photographer noted for her series based crime scene referencing the aesthetics of the Charles Jourdan series by Guy Bourdin.

The series, "High Fashion Crime Scenes" was debuted by ACE Gallery Beverly Hills in a solo exhibition of almost one-hundred large scale photographs circa May 2005 and has since traveled internationally. Her notable series was published by Nazraeli Press.
