Laura Camila Sarabia Torres (born March 20, 1994) is a Colombian politician and diplomat who has served as Colombian Ambassador to the United Kingdom since 2025.

Sarabia was born in Bogotá, D.C. She graduated with a degree in international relations from the Nueva Granada Military University. After serving as head of debate and communications advisor for Gustavo Petro 2022 presidential campaign, she was appointed Chief of Staff at the Casa de Nariño. As head of the Casa de Nariño office, Sarabia was considered Petro's right-hand woman, a position she held for two years. In September 2023, she was appointed General Director of Social Prosperity, a position she held until February 2024, when the Petro administration restructured the administrative department of the presidency, appointing her general director. She remained in this role until January 2025, when she was announced for her fourth position in the administration, this time as Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Due to her influence on the Petro administration's policies, she was described as the "most powerful woman in the country." Sarabia became the second woman to serve as Colombian ambassador to the United Kingdom, and her tenure in the Petro administration has made her the most powerful official in the all administration.
