Valerie "Val" Sweeting (born July 9, 1987 in Redvers, Saskatchewan) is a Canadian curler from Vegreville, Alberta. Sweeting skipped Alberta to a silver medal at the 2014 and 2015 Scotties Tournament of Hearts.

Sweeting grew up in Maryfield, Saskatchewan. In 2007, Sweeting played third for Hailey Surik's junior rink out of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.[1]. The team represented Saskatchewan at the 2007 Canadian Junior Curling Championships. After posting an 8-4 record, they lost to Manitoba in a tie-breaker match.[2]

After juniors, Sweeting moved to Alberta where she would form her own team with Megan Anderson at third, Carly Quigley at second and Whitney Eckstrand at lead. In 2010, in her very first provincial championship, Sweeting surprised many by defeating former World championship bronze medalist Cathy King and Olympic bronze medalist Shannon Kleibrink to capture the provincial crown. She would be the youngest skip ever to represent Alberta at the national Scotties Tournament of Hearts. At the 2010 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, she skipped her province to a 4-7 record.
