Sabrina Elaine Ionescu (/ˌjoʊnɛskuː/ yo-NESS-koo; born December 6, 1997) is an American professional basketball player for the New York Liberty of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). She played college basketball for the Oregon Ducks and is considered one of the greatest collegiate players of all time.

Ionescu attended Miramonte High School in Orinda, California, where she was named MVP of the McDonald's All-American Game. Rated the fourth-best player in her class by ESPN, she became the highest-rated recruit to ever commit to Oregon. As a junior, she led the Ducks to their first Final Four appearance and won the John R. Wooden Award and Wade Trophy as the top player in NCAA Division I. In her senior season, Ionescu was the consensus national player of the year and led Division I in assists. She is the Division I career leader in triple-doubles and holds the Pac-12 Conference all-time assists record.

Ionescu was selected first overall by the New York Liberty in the 2020 WNBA draft. She has been selected to two consecutive WNBA All-Star games and has twice made the All-WNBA Team. In 2023, Ionescu set the WNBA single-season record in three-pointers and the WNBA Three-Point Contest record. In the same season, she helped the Liberty reach the WNBA Finals and win their first Commissioner's Cup.

A two-time youth gold medalist with the United States, Ionescu made her senior national team debut at the 2022 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup, where she won a gold medal, and was named to the 2024 Summer Olympics team.
