Naroa Agirre Kamio (born May 15, 1979 in San Sebastián ) is a Spanish pole vaulter . She jumped her personal record of 4.50 m for the first time in May 2006 in Saulheim and later set it three times. In the hall she jumped 4.56 m, measured in Seville in February 2007 . This makes her the Spanish record holder in the pole vault.

Naroa Agirre took tenth place at the European Athletics Championships 2002 in Munich with 4.30 m. At the next three major events, the World Indoor Championships in 2003 and 2004 , as well as the World Championships in 2003 , she failed to qualify. The 2004 Olympic Games in Athens went much better for her with 4.40 m and a sixth place. At the European Indoor Championships in 2005 it was again not enough to advance with 4.30 m. At the World Championships in Helsinki in the same year, Agirre finished ninth with 4.35 m. In 2006 she was sixth at the World Indoor Championships in Moscow with 4.50 m and seventh at the European Championships in Gothenburg with 4.45 m. The following year she was eliminated twice in qualification at the European Indoor Championships in Birmingham with 4.40 m and at the World Championships in Osaka with 4.50 m. At the World Indoor Championships in 2008 , she finished ninth with 4.40 m. That should be her last participation in the finals for the time being, because the qualification meant the premature end for her at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing as well as the 2009 World Championships in Berlin , the 2010 European Championships in Barcelona and the 2011 European Indoor Championships in Paris .

Naroa Agirre has been a total of six times Spanish outdoor champion (2003, 2006-2010) and eight times indoors (2000, 2003, 2005-2010). She is 1.77 m tall and has a competition weight of 64 kg.
