Jasmine Camacho-Quinn (born 21 August 1996)[5] is a Puerto Rican[6][7][8] track and field athlete who specializes in the 100 metres hurdles. At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she became the first Puerto Rican of Afro-Latino descent and the second person representing Puerto Rico to win a gold medal.[9][10][11] In the semi-finals, Camacho-Quinn set her personal best and Olympic record of 12.26 seconds, which is tied for the fifth fastest time in history. She won a bronze medal at the 2022 World Athletics Championships. In 2024 Paris Olympics she won a bronze medal, making that her second Olympic medal, becoming the only Puerto Rican to have won two Olympic medals.

She participated at the 2016 Rio Olympics in her specialty event, achieving 12.70 seconds in the heats, a time that would have secured her fifth place in the final. However, she was disqualified in the semi-finals after hitting a hurdle. Camacho-Quinn was a two-time individual NCAA Division I champion.
