Luana Munize Barbosa Pinheiro is a Brazilian strawweight MMA fighter who competes in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Pinheiro was born into a judo family and began training in martial arts at just 2 years old in the city of João Pessoa. Despite a junior judo career, she transitioned completely to MMA in 2015 after her Olympic aspirations went unfulfilled.

Pinheiro amassed a record of 7–1 in regional circuits and Brave CF before getting a UFC contract via a 1st round TKO win in Dana White's Contender Series on November 10, 2020. Pinheiro made her first walk to the UFC octagon against Randa Markos, which was initially set for UFC 260 but got pushed to May 1, 2021, due to Markos testing positive for COVID-19. In the rescheduled bout, Pinheiro won via first-round disqualification when an accidental upkick by Markos prevented Pinheiro from continuing to fight. Luana Pinheiro maintains 11 victories and 2 losses, comprising 2 knockouts, 5 submissions, and 3 decisions.
