Claudia Fragapane (born 24 October 1997 in Bristol) is a British artistic gymnast. She came to prominence at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, where she was the first English woman to win four gold medals since swimmer Joyce Cooper 84 years previously. In 2015, Fragapane was part of the women's gymnastics team that won Great Britain's first-ever team medal, a bronze, at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. She also competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Fragapane grew up in Bristol, where she attended St Bernadette Catholic Secondary School.

She finished third in the all-around competition with a total score of 55.700, and was selected to compete at the European Women's Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria.
