Sarah Virginia Wade (født 10. juli 1945 i Bournemouth i Hampshire) var en engelsk tennisspiller. Hun vant sju Grand Slam-titler, tre singel- og fire dobbelturneringer i løpet av tenniskarrieren.

Hun huskes spesielt for seieren 1. juli 1977 i Wimbledon. Dels for at turneringen dette året feiret hundreårsjubileum og dels for at hun er den siste spilleren fra England som har vunnet turneringen.

I 1989 ble hun opptatt i International Tennis Hall of Fame.
