Claudia Heill (24 January 1982 – 31 March 2011) was an Austrian judoka best known for winning the silver medal in the half-middleweight (‍–‍63 kg) division at the 2004 Summer Olympics.

[6] Heill in 1998 aged 16 won the ‍–‍63 kg category at the Senior Austrian National Championships.

[7] Later that same year Heill won silver at the Junior World Championships (Cali) where she lost to the Japanese Keiko Maeda.

“This had been her dream even as she began practicing her first judo attacks as a seven-year-old,” said her longtime coach Hubert Rohrauer.

Her former teammate Ludwig Paischer was stunned by her tragic death, saying, "She was such a fun-loving, friendly person."
