Sara Pinto Sampaio (born 21 July 1991) is a Portuguese fashion model best known for being a Victoria's Secret Angel and working for Calzedonia, as well as her appearance in the 2014 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, a first for a Portuguese supermodel, for which she won Rookie of the Year. She has appeared in magazines such as GQ, Elle, Vogue, Glamour and Sports Illustrated. She won Portuguese Golden Globes in 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2016 for Best Female Model.

Sara was discovered at the age of 15, but was not allowed to compete in modeling competitions until the age of 16. At the age of 16, she won a hair modeling contest in Portugal called Cabelos Pantene 2007. After the contest, she had the chance to be in a commercial in Portugal. Off the success of the contest and commercial, she was signed to an agency, however due to her strict parents, she had to finish high school before becoming professional.

After completing high school, Sara attended the University of Lisbon. She attended part-time because she was not allowed to be homeschooled. While in Lisbon, she got a part-time job as an editor until she had the opportunity to go international. She had the chance to be in a commercial in Portugal.

Sara’s dream was to work for Victoria’s Secret. After her agency sent in headshots, she was asked to audition. However, did not make it onto the Fashion Show. She would continue to pursue the runway though and would make her debut at the 2013 VS Fashion, where she would walk in one segment. Her sophomore performance in 2014 would see her walk in two segments. In 2015, she was chosen as one of the newest angels for the 2015 runway, and in December of the same year, she walked for the brand, for the first year as an angel. On 24 October 2016, it was announced that Sara would be walking with the other Angels in the 2016 Fashion Show in Paris, France.
