What is the name of Dana Scully's mother?

Dana Scully’s mother is named Margaret Scully.

Margaret, often called Maggie, is the mother of Dana and her three siblings: Bill Jr., Melissa, and Charles. She is portrayed by Sheila Larken and is shown as the warm, steady center of the Scully family. The family’s Irish Catholic background is an important part of Dana’s upbringing and helps explain the continuing tension between her scientific skepticism and her religious faith.

Margaret is widowed early in the series after her husband, William “Bill” Scully Sr., dies of a heart attack. Although Dana is usually the family’s most rational and skeptical member, Margaret occasionally displays an intuitive side, including a disturbing premonition connected to Dana’s disappearance.

Margaret later suffers a heart attack in the season-ten episode “Home Again.” She briefly awakens from a coma before dying with Dana and Fox Mulder nearby. Catherine, Elizabeth, and Barbara Scully are not the canonical names of Dana’s mother.
