Talía Barrios (born November 22, 1980) is a Peruvian former swimmer who specialized in sprint freestyle events.[1] She represented Peru at the 2000 Summer Olympics, and also trained with the Bolles School Swim Club in Fort Lauderdale, Florida under head coaches Larry Shofe and Gregg Troy.[2][3]

Barrios competed only in the women's 50 m freestyle at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.[4] She achieved a FINA B-cut of 27.22 from the Pan American Games in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.[5] In heat four, she faced seven other swimmers including Russian import Yekaterina Tochenaya of Kyrgyzstan, and Yugoslavia's two-time Olympian Duška Radan. Barrios secured a seventh place, finishing 7.68 seconds ahead of Guinea's Aissatou Barry with a time of 28.11. However, she did not advance to the semifinals, placing fifty-second overall out of 74 swimmers in the prelims.[6][7][8]
