Sara Hurtado (born 3 November 1992) is a Spanish ice dancer who skates with Kirill Khaliavin. With former partner Adrià Díaz, she won four senior international medals. Hurtado and Diaz were the first dance team to represent Spain in ISU competition and the first to qualify for the Olympics. Hurtado is a six-time Spanish national champion, five times with Díaz and once with Khaliavin.

Sara Hurtado was born 3 November 1992 in Madrid. She studied journalism at Universidad Francisco de Vitoria before moving to Canada. In 2016, she enrolled at the British School of Art and Design in Moscow.

Hurtado began skating in 2001. Her mother signed her up for lessons when an ice rink opened nearby.

She switched from singles to ice dancing when Adrià Díaz asked her to skate with him. The Spanish skating federation hired coach John Dunn to develop an ice dancing program in Madrid in early 2008.

Hurtado/Díaz began competing together internationally in the 2008–09 season. Their first major international event was the 2009 World Junior Championships where they finished 32nd.

They competed in two events on the Junior Grand Prix circuit and finished 16th at the 2010 World Junior Championships.

Hurtado/Díaz competed on the Junior Grand Prix circuit, while also taking part in several senior internationals. They finished 15th at the 2011 European Championships, won a bronze medal at the Bavarian Open, and finished fourth at the Winter Universiade. They moved up to ninth at Junior Worlds. They went on to their first senior Worlds, where they qualified for the short dance out of the preliminary round but were unable to reach the free dance portion of the event.
