Sandor Earl (/ˈɜːrl/; born 21 September 1989) was an Australia professional rugby league player who last played for the Canberra Raiders in the NRL before being banned for 4 years for a doping violation. He primarily played on the wing. He is of Hungarian, Maori and English descent.

Raised in Sydney's eastern suburbs, Earl played for the Paddington-Woollahra Tigers in the Sydney Roosters' junior district. Sandor went to high school at the famous Rugby League nursery St Gregory's College, Campbelltown, New South Wales from year 7-11 before injuring his knee and undergoing a knee reconstruction. After recovering from the operation, Earl changed to Matraville Sports High School in 2007 where he was a member of the Arrive Alive Cup winning team, scoring a try in the final against Patrician Brothers Blacktown.

Earl subsequently entered the NRL for the Sydney Roosters, making his debut in Round 16 of 2009 against the Cronulla Sharks. However, the Roosters let him go at the end of the season, after he and fellow rugby player Jake Friend were charged with assault (for which he was found not guilty) on 20 July, for "sustained concussion, bruising to face, pain to neck and back", the victim being 31-year-old Queensland woman believed to be Kristy Bradley, the niece of ABC rugby league radio commentator David Morrow.

The following season, he signed for the Penrith Panthers and was named the club's top rookie player. His 2010 season was capped by scoring a spectacular try in a preliminary final against the Canberra Raiders, cartwheeling towards the try line and planting the ball over it while his body was suspended over the sideline. However, the Panthers lost the match and were knocked out of the finals the following week, losing to Earl's old club, the Sydney Roosters.
