Sarah Gabrielle Cabral de Menezes (born 26 March 1990) is a judoka from Brazil. In 2012, she became the first Brazilian woman to win an Olympic gold medal in judo, after defeating the reigning Olympic champion Alina Dumitru. She also competed at the 2008 and 2016 Summer Olympics.

Menezes won her first major medal by claiming bronze at the World Judo Championships in Tokyo in September 2010.

Menezes retired in 2020, as she got pregnant from French judoka Loic Pietri, and their daughter was born in May 2021. In 2021, she was approached by the Brazilian Judo Confederation to coach the national team. In the 2024 Summer Olympics, Menezes coached Larissa Pimenta to a bronze medal and Beatriz Souza to the gold.
