Paraskevi "Voula" Tsiamita (Greek: Παρασκευή Τσιαμήτα, [parasceˈvi tsjaˈmita], born 10 March 1972) is a Greek former track and field athlete who competed in long jump and triple jump.

She was born in Volos, on 10 March 1972. Her origins come from the nearby village of Sesklo,[1] and she is of Aromanian descent.[2][3]

In 1998 she improved her personal best in triple jump by approximately one metre, and became world champion in 1999 with a personal best jump of 15.07 metres. This was the national record until 2004, when Hrysopiyi Devetzi jumped 15.32 m at the Olympic Games.[citation needed]

Her personal best in long jump is 6.93 metres, achieved in August 1999 in Patras. This places her second in the all-time Greek performers list, only behind Niki Xanthou. [1]

Tsiamita retired in 2004 because of persistent injury problems.
