Laura Pous Tió (born 1 October 1984) is a former professional tennis player from Spain.

Career Pous Tió won the gold medal at the 2005 Mediterranean Games in Almería by defeating compatriot Nuria Llagostera Vives in straight sets. She won a total of 20 singles and nine doubles ITF titles. At the WTA Tour-level, she was a singles runner-up at the Morocco Open in Fés, losing the final in straight sets to Kiki Bertens. In 2007, she played a doubles match for the Spanish Fed Cup team against Russia. Pous Tió reached her career-high singles ranking of No. 72 on 30 January 2012.

Pous Tió served a two-year ban from 2007 to 2009 for an anti-doping rule violation after testing positive for banned diuretics at the 2007 Wimbledon qualifiers. The ban, imposed by the ITF, was upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport despite her claim of unintentional use.
