Saana-Maria Katarina Sinisalo (born 29 January 1971) is a Finnish Paralympic archer who competes in international archery competitions. She has competed at the 2012 Summer Paralympics and has also competed at the Island Games. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

In 2012, Sinisalo was the first sportswoman in para-sports to be featured on Finnish stamps as part of the 2012 Disability Sports stamp series which also featured other Paralympians, including blind judoka Jani Kallunki and Finnish wheelchair racer Leo-Pekka Tähti. She was the first woman to feature on Finnish stamps since 1994 when female skiers Marja-Liisa Kirvesniemi and Marjo Matikainen's joint stamp was issued. Since then, there has been no other para sportspeople featured on Finnish stamps. ^{[4] [5]}
