Angela Ballard (born 6 June 1982) is an Australian Paralympic athlete who competes in T53 wheelchair sprint events. She became a paraplegic at age 7 due to a car accident.

She began competing in wheelchair racing in 1994, and first represented Australia in 1998.[5] Over six Paralympic Games from 2000 to 2020, she has won four silver and four bronze medals.[6][7] She has been coached by Louise Sauvage and trained with Madison de Rozario.[8]

Ballard held athletics scholarships at the Australian Institute of Sport from 1999 to 2001,[9] and The University of Sydney (while studying first commerce[10] and then psychology[5]), and also represents the New South Wales Institute of Sport. She has been appointed by a number of organisations as a disability or sports ambassador, and currently sits on the board of Wheelchair Sports NSW.[11]
