Sophie Thornhill, born on 9 February 1996, is a visually impaired English former racing cyclist who competed in para-cycling tandem track events. She is a double world champion with her pilot Rachel James and a double Commonwealth gold medallist with her pilot Helen Scott, in the tandem sprint and 1 km time trial events. Her international debut came with James at the International Paracycling Cup in Newport, Wales, where the pair won two gold medals. Her English Wikipedia lead gives no count of Paralympic golds, so that figure is left open until a source that states it is found.
