Angela Mudge (born 8 July 1970) is a Scottish champion hill runner and skyrunner. Despite being born with birth defects in both legs, and finding track athletics not to her liking, she discovered her sport while a postgraduate student in Scotland in the mid-1990s, and developed rapidly.

She has won the Scottish Hill Running Championships three times (1997, 1998, 2006),[2] the British Fell Running Championships five times (1997–2000, 2008),[3] and holds the women's record on more than thirteen courses in Scotland alone.[4] On the international stage she won the Women's World Mountain Running Trophy in 2000,[5] the World Masters Mountain Running Championships in 2005,[6] and the Buff Skyrunner World Series in 2006 and 2007.[7][8] She was named on a list of "100 things we still love about sport" by The Observer newspaper in June 2008.[9]
