Mirsada Burić (born 8 April 1970) is a Bosnian former long-distance runner. She was a top runner in the former Yugoslavia, being the Balkan Games champion in the 3000 metres. In 1992, the Bosnian War started, and Burić was sent to a concentration camp, later being released in a prisoner exchange. She subsequently received widespread attention for her attempts to train for the Olympic Games amidst the war, running through the streets of Sarajevo despite nearly being killed on several occasions. She ended up competing in the women's 3000 metres at the 1992 Summer Olympics, placing 31st, and later moved to the U.S., where she competed for the teams of Yavapai College and Adams State College.
