Sara Payne MBE (born 1968) is a British media campaigner.

Payne was born Sara-Jane Williams in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, England.^{[citation needed]} Since the murder of her daughter Sarah in July 2000, she has campaigned for parents to be given the right to know if a convicted paedophile is living in their community. Initially, the then Home Secretary David Blunkett refused to allow any public access to the information, and several child care agencies and police forces condemned Payne's campaigning amid fears that it could trigger vigilante violence. However, in 2008, eight years after the start of the campaign, a pilot scheme was introduced by four British police forces. If successful, it may be extended across the country in the future.

Her book, Sara Payne: A Mother's Story, was published in 2004.

On 31 December 2008, Payne was made an MBE in the New Year Honours list. On 26 January 2009, she was appointed Victims Champion by the Justice Secretary Jack Straw.

On 23 December 2009, Payne was taken to St George's Hospital, Tooting, south London, following complications after brain surgery in 2008 to cure a ruptured aneurysm. On 24 December 2009, it was stated that she was critically ill. Later reports indicated that she had responded well to treatment.
