Sandra Auffarth (born 27 December 1986) is a German equestrian. ^[1]

At the 2012 Summer Olympics she competed in the Individual eventing with Opgun Louvo. Auffarth and Louvo had won team gold and individual bronze at the 2012 Summer Olympics. One year before, she had won team gold and individual silver with Opgun Louvo at her first senior rider championship - the 2011 European Eventing Championship.^{[ citation needed ]}

Auffarth was selected to represent Germany in the 2023 Summer Olympics in Paris. At the final health check before the games, her mount Viamant Du Matz was "found to be not 100 percent fit", and the pair resigned their place to the reserve rider Julia Krajewski. ^[2]

She lives in Ganderkesee, where she and her parents have a horse farm. ^[3]
