Jéssica de Barros Augusto, ComM[1] (born 8 November 1981) is a Portuguese runner who competes in cross country, road running and in middle-distance and long-distance track events.

She has also won at the Cursa Bombers, and finished second at both the São Silvestre de Lisboa and Great South Run.

In the following season, a fourth-place finish at the 2009 European Cross Country Championships meant she missed out on an individual medal, although she again headed Portugal to the women's team gold.

After a win at the Cursa Bombers in a 10 km personal best of 32:08, she stated that she was looking to attempt longer distance races, including the 10,000 metres on the track.

[7] She ran a Portuguese record of 9:18:54 in the 3000 m steeplechase later that month, finishing behind Marta Domínguez at the Gran Premio de Andalucía.

[8] She recorded a personal best in the 5000 metres at the Meeting Areva Diamond League competition, knocking over 20 seconds off her previous time with a run of 14:37.07 for fifth place.

[9] At the 2010 European Athletics Championships she was some distance behind Elvan Abeylegesse in the 10,000 m, who completed a solo run to victory, but she was still the clear bronze medallist – her first podium finish on the track at continental level.

She led the race from virtually start to finish and openly celebrated to the home crowd in the final straight, such was the size of her lead.

[14] She was second behind her fellow Portuguese and friend Ana Dulce Félix at the Austrian Women's Run after beginning the race with an excessive pace.
