Sandra McLaren is an Australian geologist.

Interested in geology and geothermal energy from a young age,[1] McLaren completed her PhD at the University of Adelaide in 2001 and is currently an Associate Professor at the University of Melbourne.[2] She is a noted science communicator and educator, especially on the topic of sustainable energy through hot rocks in southern Australia.[1]

In 2008, McLaren received a Victorian Young Tall Poppy Award,[3] and attended the inaugural InterAcademy Panel meeting for Young Scientists.[1] In 2008 she received the Australian Academy of Science's Dorothy Hill award.[4] The same year, she and Professor Mike Sandford received a grant from the Australian Research Council to research the mechanics of hot rocks and subsequently the potential for geothermal energy in Australia.[5] She was a member of the Global Young Academy.[6]
