Terin Marie Humphrey (born August 14, 1986, in St. Joseph, Missouri) is a retired American artistic gymnast. She competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, where she helped the United States team place second and won an individual silver medal on the uneven bars.
Humphrey was raised in Bates City, Missouri, and trained under coaches Al and Armine Fong at Great American Gymnastics Express, alongside Olympic teammate Courtney McCool.
In 2002, Humphrey competed at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. She advanced to the semifinal round on floor exercise and vault, but did not make the eight-person finals on either apparatus, placing ninth on vault and eleventh on floor. In 2003, she was a member of the first U.S. women's team to win a World Championships gold medal.
Humphrey placed third at the 2004 U.S. National Championships, improving on her sixth-place performance from the year before.
At the Olympics, Humphrey competed on bars and balance beam in the team finals, scoring 9.587 and 9.487, respectively. She also competed in the event finals on the uneven bars and won the silver medal, the best bars result by an American woman at an Olympic Games since Amy Chow took silver at the 1996 Olympics.
Humphrey competed for the University of Alabama from 2005–08. In her freshman season, she helped the team to second place in the NCAA National Championships and won the uneven bars title.
In mid-2006, she underwent surgery on both elbows, but recovered in time to compete throughout the 2006–07 season. At the NCAA finals, her team had a disastrous performance, failing to qualify for the Super Six for the first time in over a decade, but Humphrey again won the uneven bars title.
