Sabine Bergmann-Pohl (born April 20, 1946) is a German conservative politician who served as the last head of state of East Germany (the German Democratic Republic) from April 5 to October 2, 1990. The following day, East and West Germany were reunited.

She was born in Eisenach and studied medicine. She joined the CDU in 1981 and in March 1990 became a member of the Volkskammer. On April 5, 1990 she became the president of the Volkskammer and, as the Council of State of the GDR had been abolished, head of state of East Germany (the first and only woman to hold the post).

After reunification she became a member of the Bundestag. She was Federal Minister for Special Affairs from 1990 to 1991, and Under-Secretary of State for Health between 1991 and 1998. She retired from the Bundestag in September 2002.
