Elvira Fischer (born March 21, 1978) is an Austrian former swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events. She represented Austria in two editions of the Olympic Games (1996 and 2000), and also held numerous Austrian records in a similar disciplinary double (both 100 and 200 m) until they were all broken by Mirna Jukić in the early 2000s. While studying in the United States, she received three All-American honors for the Nebraska Cornhuskers and later earned a 200-yard breaststroke title at the Pacific-10 Conference Championships, following her sudden transfer to the UCLA Bruins.
