Tahnee Atkinson (born 31 January 1992) is an Australian model, best known for winning the cycle 5 of Australia's Next Top Model.

Tahnee was often considered one of the front runners in the competition, garnering 3 first call-outs and winning 3 challenges. During the competition, Tahnee's weight was criticised by other contestants, judges, and fashion industry professionals. In one of the challenges, Tahnee won the lead in a Telstra advertising campaign. In another challenge, she won a $10,000 shopping spree at the Corner Shop, opting to give $1,000 to another contestant Adele Thiel. On 7 July 2009 Tahnee was announced the winner of cycle 5 of Australia's Next Top Model and was awarded $20,000 cash, and contracts from Priscilla's model management, Maybelline and Harper's Bazaar magazine.^{[citation needed]}

In 2008 Tahnee, along with fellow Australia's Next Top Model contestant Clare Venema, was a state finalist in the Girlfriend Magazine Model Search; however, both girls were disqualified as they were already signed to model agencies. Atkinson was previously signed to Scene Models in Perth.^{[citation needed]}

During the fifth cycle, Tahnee walked the runway for Nicola Finetti and Alex Perry. As the winner of Cycle 5 Atkinson won a 12-month contract with Priscilla's model management, a contract with Maybelline New York, and a spread in Harper's Bazaar magazine.^[2] She has also signed a 6-month deal with Harper's and will model exclusively for the magazine with her first shoot in August.^{[citation needed]} Her print work includes a Bettina Liano campaign.

Atkinson is currently signed to IMG Models.^[3]
