Clarissa Chun (陳美玲, born August 27, 1981 in Honolulu, Hawaii) is an American Olympic Women's freestyle 48 kg (105.5 lbs) wrestler. She attended Missouri Valley College in Marshall, Missouri.

At the 2008 U.S. Olympic wrestling team trials in June, Clarissa Chun, a diminutive athlete from Hawai'i, gained the admiration of fans and media alike by staging a huge upset of seven-time national champion and 2004 Olympic bronze medalist Patricia Miranda.

In the process, Chun, who stands 4 feet 11, fulfilled a lifelong dream, becoming the first wrestler from Hawai'i to qualify for a U.S. Olympic team.

2008 World champion Clarissa Chun highlighted the 48 kg weight class. She has had a tremendous season winning her second career U.S. Senior Nationals title and second Pan American title. Chun also represented the U.S. at the Women's World Cup in China this year. She placed fifth at the 2008 Olympics, making her mark on the international level. [1]
