Cenaida Cebastiana Uribe Medina (born December 2, 1965 in Lima) is a Peruvian former volleyball player and politician (PNP). During her sports career, she played for the national team for many years and earned a silver medal at the 1988 Summer Olympics. Since 1996, she has held a trainer's licence.

Her first contact with politics was in 1981, when the Peruvian Ministry of Education won her as a promoter and coordinator of the sport of volleyball, a position she has not abandoned ever since. In 2005, she became an advisor to the parliamentary group in Congress. In 2006, she ran for Congresswoman on the list of the Union for Peru, which also promoted the candidates of her Peruvian Nationalist Party. She was elected, representing the constituency of Lima for the 2006–2011 term. She was reelected for the 2011–2016 term, this time on the successful Nationalist-dominated Peru Wins list.
