'''Sophie Joy Martin Delezio''' (born 3 April 2001) is an Australian [[woman]] who was injured in two serious traffic crashes when she was young.

She first gained media attention in December 2003, at 2.5 years old when she was badly injured when a car crashed into her day care centre. She suffered third-degree burns to 90% of her body and was hospitalised for almost a year, where she lost both legs from below the knee, her right hand, and an ear.<ref name="super" /> She was involved in a second serious car crash in 2006 at the age of 5.

Her family has become major fundraisers and activists for victims who suffer conditions like Sophie's, and have also assisted in fundraising for [[Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children|The Children's Hospital at Westmead]].
