Dana Vollmer is a swimmer who has competed for the United States. She competed at the 2004, 2012, and 2016 Summer Olympic Games.

Vollmer started her Olympic career with a gold as a member of the U.S. women's team in the 4x100 metres freestyle relay at Athens 2004. Eight years later in London, she set a new world record (55.98) to clear the 56-second mark and claim her first individual gold in the 100 metres butterfly. She also added her third and fourth career gold in the 4x200 metres freestyle relay and as a butterfly swimmer in the 4x100 metres medley relay.

At Rio de Janeiro 2016, Vollmer missed a chance to defend her title in the 100 metres butterfly with a bronze, losing to the world record holder Sarah Sjöström by more than a full second. She swam through the third leg in the 4x100 metres freestyle relay to hand the U.S. women's team of Simone Manuel, Abbey Weitzeil, and Katie Ledecky a silver medal with a continental record time (3:31.89). She also helped the American foursome of Manuel, Lilly King, and Kathleen Baker outlast the rest of the field to defend their title in the 4x100 metres medley relay and secure the nation's thousandth gold in Summer Olympic history.
