Angie Lee Bainbridge, OAM[1] (born 16 October 1989) is an Australian freestyle swimmer who specialises in the 200-metre event.

At the 2008 Australian Swimming Championships she qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing as a member of the 4×100-metre and 4×200-metre freestyle relay squads by coming sixth and third in the respective individual events.[2]

She was not used as the Australians won bronze in the shorter race. She then swam the preliminary heats of the longer relay, and collected gold when the first-choice quartet won the final in a world record time.

In 2009, she received the Medal of the Order of Australia "For service to sport as a gold medallist at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games".[1]

She was part of the Australian 4 × 200 m freestyle team at the 2012 Summer Olympics, again swimming in the heats.[3][2]

She was an Australian Institute of Sport scholarship holder.[4]
