Chanel Preston is an American adult film performer, director, and sex educator. In 2012, Penthouse named her its Pet of the Month for March. She also appeared on CNBC's annual list of popular adult stars each year from 2012 through 2016, reflecting a sustained media profile during that period.

Her work in mainstream media has included music videos and television. In September 2012, she appeared in Russ Irwin's video for "Get Me Home," and in 2015 she appeared in Waka Flocka Flame's video for "Bust." She also appeared as an extra on Sons of Anarchy.

In 2014, Preston expanded her public work in education by launching the web series Naked with Chanel.
