Poleth Isamar Méndes Sánchez (born 4 February 1996), also simply known as Poleth Méndes, is an Ecuadorian Paralympic athlete. She along with her younger sister Anaís Méndez claimed the first medals for Ecuador in the history of the Paralympics. Both have the unique distinction of being the only siblings combination to be the first two Paralympic medalists for a country.

Méndes and her sister share different spelling of their surnames due to a clerical error in the civil registry.
