Fabíola Pulga Molina (born May 25, 1975 in São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil) is a butterfly and backstroke swimmer from Brazil, who competed at the 2000, 2008 and 2012 Olympics.

A resident of Coral Springs, Florida, she twice won the bronze medal with the women's relay team in the 4×100-metre medley at the Pan American Games (1995 and 1999).

Molina trained at The Race Club, a summer swimming camp founded by Olympic Swimmers Gary Hall, Jr. and his father, Gary Hall, Sr. The Race Club, originally known as "The World Team," was designed to serve as a training group for elite swimmers across the world in preparation for the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. To be able to train with the Race Club, one must either have been ranked in the top 20 in the world the past 3 calendar years or top 3 in their nation in the past year. The Race Club included such well known swimmers as Roland Mark Schoeman, Mark Foster, Ryk Neethling, and Therese Alshammar.

At the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Molina finished 24th in the 100-metre backstroke, and 36th in the 100-metre butterfly.
