Anyika Onuora (born 28 October 1984) is a British retired sprint track and field athlete who competed in the 100 metres, 200 metres and 400 metres, and also the 4 × 100 metres relay and 4 × 400 metres relay.

Specialising in the short sprints and sprint relays in her early career, and despite being part of the Great Britain 4 × 100 metres relay team that took gold at the 2014 European Athletics Championships, a move on her coaches suggestion to the longer 400 sprint and relay in her later career led to her most significant individual and relay successes.

In the 4 × 400 metres relay, she won a World Championship bronze medal in 2015, while in 2016 an individual bronze in the 400 metres, and relay gold in the 4 × 400 metres relay at the European Championships were followed by an Olympic bronze medal in the 4 × 400 metres relay.
