Chandra Sturrup (born September 12, 1971 in Nassau, Bahamas) is a Track and Field sprint athlete, competing internationally for Bahamas. She is a Olympic gold medalist in the 4 x 100 meter relay race. She graduated Business Management at Norfolk State University, Norfolk, Virginia, USA. She is a former volleyball player. She is also a capable long jumper with a personal best of 6.70m. In 1998 she suffered from plantar fascitis in her left foot, which caused inflammation and kept her from training for two months. A stress fracture in her shin kept her out of competition in the lead up to the 2003 World Indoor Championships.

She started running at age eight. She was beating the boys when she was in junior high and competed for the Bahamas national team when she was a junior. She was the first Bahamian to win a world indoor title - the 60m in 2001. She is one of only two Bahamian females who have run sub-11s over 100m. She, along with Debbie Ferguson, Sevatheda Fynes, Pauline Davis-Thompson , and Eldece Clark-Lewis were dubbed the Golden Girls in 1999 after their first place finish in the 4x100m relay at the 1999 World Championships. Their incredible achievements in winning the Olympics a year later showed the world why they had earned that name. She was named Bahamian Athlete of the Year in 1997. In 1998, she received a Silver Jubilee Award from His Excellency Sir Orville Turnquest , the Governor-General, for her contribution to sports.
