Soumya Swaminathan (born 1989) is a chess player holding the title of International Master (IM) and Woman Grandmaster (WGM) from India. She won the World Junior Girls' Championship 2009 held in Puerto Madryn, Argentina, edging out Deysi Cori and Betül Cemre Yıldız on tiebreak score.[1][2] She withdrew from the chess championships held in Iran in 2018 as a protest against the compulsory headscarf rule for women by Irans Islamic government.

She has represented India twice at the Women's World Championships, in 2010 and 2012. She opted herself out of the Asian Team Chess Championship, to be held in Hamadan, Iran, from 26 July – 4 August 2018, characterizing Iran's compulsory headscarf rule as a violation of her personal rights.[6] She crossed 2400 for the 1st time in the October 2018 rating list, thereby completing the requirements for the International Master (Open) title.
