Sarah Raymond (née Cooper; born 8 October 1969) is the former captain of Australia women's national association football team.

Cooper played more than 50 matches for her country and represented Australia at the 1995 and 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup.

In popular culture

Cooper posed nude with some of her teammates in the controversial "The Matildas: the new fashion in football: 2000 Olympic year calendar" in an effort to increase visibility of the team and raise money for their Olympic Games preparation. A royalty from the sale of each calendar was used to support the team's 2000 Summer Olympic Games preparation.
