Desiree Freier (born July 24, 1996) is an American track and field athlete known primarily for the pole vault. She is the current ratified junior national record holder from her 4.45 m (14 ft 7 in) set on her 18th birthday in Eugene, Oregon while taking the silver medal at the 2014 World Junior Championships.
