Sybille Gruner (born 18 May 1969 in Erfurt, East Germany) was a member of the German women's national handball team between 1989 and 1995. In 1993 the team won the world championship in a very close game against Denmark. One year later, during the European championship final in Berlin, they played the Danish team again and lost.

At the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992 the team had high hopes of a medal but placed a disappointing fourth. In the play-off for the bronze medal they lost against the odds-on favourite, Russia.
