Flora Hyacinth (born 10 March 1966 in St. Lucia) is a retired female track and field athlete from the United States Virgin Islands who specialized in the long jump and triple jump.
Earlier in her career, especially while competing for the Crimson Tide Track and Field Team at the University of Alabama, she also competed in the triple jump and hurdles. On May 17, 1987 at a meet in Tuscaloosa, AL, U.S., Flora surpassed the world record in the Triple Jump with a jump of 13.73 meters, but the feat could not be given official recognition because the meet officials lacked appropriate measuring tools. Yet, she is still included on unofficial world record progression lists. While at the University of Alabama, she became a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority in 1986 through the Iota Eta Chapter at the University of Alabama.
After pursuing her athletic career, Flora Hyacinth went on to pursue a career as a Chiropractor. Dr. Hyacinth currently practices at her own clinic in San Diego.
