Norma Murabito (born 12 October 1987 in Taormina, Messina) is an Italian sprint canoeist.[2] [3] Murabito is a member of Aniene Canoeing Club (Italian: Circolo Canottieri Aniene) in Rome, and is coached and trained by Stefano Grillo.[4]

Murabito qualified for the first ever women's K-1 200 metres at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, by placing second from the European Qualification Tournament in Poznań, Poland.[5] She paddled in the first heat against seven other canoeists, including three-time Olympic champion Nataša Dušev-Janić of Hungary, and New Zealand's Lisa Carrington, who eventually won the gold medal in the final. Murabito finished the race only in seventh place by nearly half a second (0.5) behind U.S. canoeist Carrie Johnson, with a time of 43.820 seconds. Murabito, however, failed to advance into the semi-finals, as she ranked twenty-fifth overall, and placed outside the qualifying spots for the next round.[6]
