Sarah Chang (born December 10, 1980) is a Korean-American violinist.

Chang was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania of Korean heritage. Min-Soo Chang, her father, is a violinist and Myoung Jun Chang, her mother, is a composer. She asked her parents for a violin at the age of 3, started playing at 4 and auditioned for the Juilliard School at 6 playing the Bruch Violin Concerto. She was admitted into the studio of the late Dorothy DeLay, violin teacher to some of the world's great violinists including Itzhak Perlman, Midori Goto, Gil Shaham and Shlomo Mintz, including Chang's father Min-Soo Chang. She was also taught by Hyo Kang, a former student and assistant of DeLay.

Chang was recognized as a child prodigy early on and when she was 8, was given the opportunity to audition with such names as Zubin Mehta and Riccardo Muti, who were working, respectively, with the New York Philharmonic and the Philadelphia Orchestra. Both gave her immediate engagements. At 9, she was possibly the youngest violinist ever to record. Her teacher in an interview claimed that no one had ever seen "anything like her."

She has collaborated with most major orchestras, including the New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Chicago Symphony, the Boston Symphony, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Berlin Philharmonic, the Vienna Philharmonic, the principal London orchestras, and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam.

Among the conductors with whom she has worked are Daniel Barenboim, Sir Colin Davis, Charles Dutoit, Bernard Haitink, James Levine, Lorin Maazel, Kurt Masur, Zubin Mehta, Riccardo Muti, André Previn, Sir Simon Rattle, Wolfgang Sawallisch, Leonard Slatkin, Michael Tilson-Thomas, Placido Domingo, David Lockington and David Zinman.
