Sara Elizabeth Dallin (born 17 December 1960) is an English musician best known for her membership of the group Bananarama, which she co-founded with her childhood friend Keren Woodward.[1]

Dallin was born in Bristol, England.[1] She attended Mangotsfield School in Bristol with Woodward and studied journalism at the London College of Fashion before she and Woodward founded Bananarama with Siobhan Fahey from Dublin.[2] After Fahey left Bananarama, in 1988, and a short period with her replacement, Jacquie O'Sullivan, Dallin and Woodward continued to tour and record, as a duo, until 2017, when they reunited with Fahey.[3][4]

She was engaged to former Bananarama dancer Bassey Walker with whom she had a daughter, Alice, in 1991, but they later separated.[5][6]
