Mirela Barbălată (-Hübner) (b. October 23, 1967[2]) is a retired Romanian artistic gymnast. At the 1983 World Championships, she won a silver medal with the Romanian team and scored a perfect ten on vault, the highest qualifying score for the vault final.[3] However, she did not compete in the final; the Romanian finalists were Lavinia Agache and Ecaterina Szabo, who won the silver and bronze medals, respectively.

After retiring from gymnastics, Barbălată immigrated to Germany. There, she married the German marathoner Christian Hübner, with whom she competes in marathons.[4]
