Siri Lindley (born May 26, 1969) is an American triathlon coach and former professional triathlete. She is the 2001 ITU Triathlon World Champion as well as the winner of the 2001 and 2002 ITU Triathlon World Cup series and 2001 ITU Aquathlon World Championships. She has coached a number of Olympic and Ironman athletes and champions, including Mirinda Carfrae, Leanda Cave, Sarah True, and Susan Williams. In 2014 she was selected to be a member of the inaugural International Triathlon Union (ITU) Hall of Fame class.

Lindley has also worked as a television sports analyst covering triathlon and field hockey events for NBC during the 2004 Summer Olympics. She has reported on NCAA Field Hockey, the NCAA Final Four, and the Big 10 Tournament for NBC, CSTV, and TVNZ.

Lindley grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut, as an athletic and shy child. She attended Greenwich High School, where she played field hockey, ice hockey, and lacrosse. She later attended Brown University, where she played at the varsity level in the same three sports and graduated with a degree in psychology. Following graduation, she spent two years coaching field hockey and lacrosse – one year at Princeton University and one year at Lehigh University.

In 1992 Lindley competed in her first triathlon without having much prior knowledge or training in swimming. She trained while working 60-hour weeks at a local YMCA in Worcester, Massachusetts.
