Jill Sawyer is an American former competitive figure skater. She is the 1978 World Junior champion and the 1978 Prague Skate champion.
Sawyer trained in Tacoma, Washington, coached by Kathy Casey. As a 14-year-old, Sawyer drew attention for her ability to land the triple lutz, then a rare jump in ladies' singles. After observing her in February 1977, Carlo Fassi said, "She is ready for Senior Ladies right now." In 1978, Sawyer won gold at the World Junior Championships and Prague Skate but ceased competing soon after.
