Sara Harstick (born 8 September 1981 in Hildesheim, Niedersachsen[1]) is a former German freestyle swimmer, who won bronze medals in the 2000 and 2004 Summer Olympics.[2]

Also in 2004 in Athens, she swam in her only individual Olympic race, finishing sixth in the fifth heat of the 200 m freestyle, one spot short of advancing to the semifinals.[3] A few months before the 2008 Summer Olympics, Harstick ended her swimming career after the firing of her coach, Rainer Tylinski.[4]
