Dalma Malhas (Arabic: دلما ملحس) is an equestrian. She was supposed to be the first Saudi female athlete to compete at the Summer Olympics.

When she rode at the inaugural Youth Olympic Games in 2010,[1] she was amongst a high-profile group of speakers who addressed the recent International Olympic Committee Women and Sport conference in Los Angeles. The 20-year-old, who won individual bronze in Singapore, spoke of her hope of gender equality in all sports.[citation needed]
