Beatrix Suzetta Loughran (June 30, 1900 – December 7, 1975) was an American figure skater who competed in single and pair skating. She is the only American to win three Olympic medals in figure skating (1924, 1928, 1932), and one of the oldest figure skating Olympic medalists. She is a six-time national champion (1925–1927 in singles, 1930–1932 in pairs). Her pairs partner was Sherwin Badger.

Beatrix Loughran is the first and only figure skater in history to win three Olympic medals in two separate figure skating disciplines. She is one of only three athletes to win Olympic medals in two separate figure skating disciplines.[citation needed] She was the first North American skater to win a medal at a Worlds Championships, in 1924, when she came in third place.

Loughran was born in Mount Vernon, New York, and died in Long Beach, New York. She was the aunt of three-time national medalist Audrey Peppe.

In 1997, Loughran was inducted into the United States Figure Skating Hall of Fame.
