Vahiné Fierro, born on 2 December 1999 in Uturoa, is a French professional surfer from French Polynesia. She began learning to surf at the age of two on the island of Huahine and has competed since fourteen, moving to Tahiti for secondary school because Huahine had no lycée and later to Europe to compete there. She was World Junior champion in 2017. At the 2023 World Surfing Games in Salvador she qualified for the 2024 Olympic Games as the best previously unqualified European competitor; the Olympic surfing event was scheduled for Teahupo'o, where she trains.
