Sandra Raluca Izbașa is a gymnast who has competed for Romania. She competed at the 2008 and 2012 Summer Olympic Games. She is widely considered as one of the most decorated Romanian female gymnasts in history, winning a total of four medals (two golds and two bronze) throughout her Olympic career.

Izbasa arrived at her first Olympics in 2008 as a top medal favorite on the floor exercise. She helped the Romanian women secure a podium spot with a bronze in the team all-around routine. Despite finishing among the top eight gymnasts in the individual all-around, Izbasa overhauled the American duo Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin with an impressive B-score on the floor exercise to win her first gold medal.

Four years later in London, Izbasa was favored to retain her floor exercise title but a fall on her final tumbling pass dropped her spot to last of the eight-woman field in the final. She contributed her remarks on the floor and the vault to repeat a third-place feat from Beijing for the Romanian women in the team all-around final. She rebounded from her technical error on the floor exercise to claim another gold of her career in the women's vault with a score of 15.191.
