L'Nel was a female Vulcan in the 22nd century. In the mid 2150s, she held the title of Ambassador, and served as a senior aide to Ambassador Soval during the negotiations to create the Coalition of Planets, and continuing in that role following the formation of that body. (ENT novels: The Good That Men Do, Kobayashi Maru)

L'Nel was also the name of the mother of T'Prynn (as established in VAN novel: Harbinger). However, there is no evidence to indicate whether or not the two are the same person.
