Diana Marie Munz (born June 19, 1982), later known by her married name Diana DePetro, is an American former competition swimmer and Olympic champion from Moreland Hills, Ohio.

Munz was born on June 18, 1982 in Cleveland, Ohio to Mrs. and Mr. Robert Munz, an ice dancer who competed at the 1964 World Figure Skating Championships.[1] As of August 2006, she was married to Palmer DePetro.[2]

Prior to her gold medal performance in the 2000 Olympics, she was injured in a car accident in 1999 that caused some pain and minor damage to her back which included compressed vertebrae. She had pain at times after completing long training afterwards. During 2003, she took courses at John Carroll University but did not swim for the school.[3]
