Laura Arraya (born 12 January 1964) is a retired Peruvian tennis player. She was also known by her married name, Laura Gildemeister.
At a young age, Argentine-born Arraya emigrated to Peru with her family and acquired Peruvian nationality. She'd later represent that country in international matches. Her best result in a Grand Slam was a quarter final at Wimbledon in 1991 in London. Her brother, Pablo Arraya, is also a former tennis player, who reached the top 30 in the Association of Tennis Professionals ranks. In 1984 Arraya married to a Peruvian tennis player born in Chile, Hans Gildemeister, but they later divorced.

When she won the OTB Open in July 1989, she became the first mother since Evonne Goolagong to win a Women's Tennis Association tournament.
