Olivia Rawlinson (born 26 October 1992)[1] is a swimmer from the Isle of Man. She competed mainly in the 200 m freestyle and medley events.

She represented the Isle of Man at the 2006 Commonwealth Games, becoming their youngest participant ever in the Commonwealth Games.[2] Rawlinson made her international debut in the Shetland 2005 Island Games where she competed in eight races, winning a medal in every race.[1] Rawlinson competed in the 2007 Island Games where she performed at an extremely high level, winning eight medals, three silver and five bronze. This was followed by four golds and three silver in the 2009 Island Games in Aland.

Although Rawlinson qualified for the 2010 Delhi Commonwealths, she has given up swimming to focus on other things.[citation needed]

She was nominated for the Isle of Man Sports Awards in February 2008.[3]
