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 for 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] She challenged seven other swimmers in heat four, including Russian import Yekaterina Tochenaya of Kyrgyzstan, and Yugoslavia's two-time Olympian Duška Radan. She saved a seventh spot over Guinea's Aissatou Barry by a wide margin of 7.68 seconds in 28.11. Barrios failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed fifty-second overall out of 74 swimmers in the prelims.[6][7][8]
