Susan Hobbs (born 1956/1957) is an Australian para-athlete and wheelchair basketball player. Hobbs was the first woman to captain the Australian women's wheelchair basketball team and was inducted into Basketball Australia's Hall of Fame in 2013.[1]

She was from South Australia. In 1976, at the age of 19, a car accident left her a paraplegic.[citation needed] At the 1980 Arnhem Games, she competed in four athletics events and won three silver medals – Women's 60 m 5, Women's 800 m 5 and the Women's 1,500 m 5.[2] She organised the first Australian women's wheelchair basketball team.[3] She was the captain of the women's basketball team at the 1992 Barcelona Games.[2][4] Basketball Australia established the Sue Hobbs Medallist for the Australian International Women's Wheelchair Player of the Year.[5]

In 1999, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.[3][6] After the symptoms prevented her from undertaking paid employment, she began volunteering for Multiple Sclerosis Society of SA and the Northern Territory Inc.[3]
