Lauren Elizabeth Cox (born April 20, 1998) is an American professional basketball player for Virtus Bologna (Italy).

In November 2019, ESPN ranked Cox as the second-best collegiate women's basketball player in the country behind Sabrina Ionescu.

Three days later on June 30, 2021, she signed with the Los Angeles Sparks, finishing the season with them by playing in 15 games and averaging 3.5 points and 3.7 rebounds.

On February 7, 2023, the Connecticut Sun announced that they signed Cox and Kristine Anigwe (9th overall pick of the 2019 WNBA Draft) to training camp contracts.

The 2019 edition of the game, in Cox's final season at Baylor, was especially significant for her personally, as the opponent was defending NCAA Division II champion Lubbock Christian, which featured her younger sister Whitney—who had been diagnosed with the disease at age 17—as a freshman reserve.
