Sophia Moermond (born 14 September 1968)[1] is an Australian politician. She was elected to the Western Australian Legislative Council at the 2021 state election, formerly representing Legalise Cannabis Western Australia Party, before quitting the party in May 2024 to sit as an independent. She stood as an independent candidate in the 2025 Western Australian state election but was not elected, thus losing her seat.

The family immigrated to Australia in 1983, settling in Heathridge, Western Australia. She attended Ocean Reef Senior High School, then returned to the Netherlands to study nursing.
