'''Agnes Jebet Tirop''' (23 October 1995 – 13 October 2021) was a Kenyan professional long-distance runner. She won bronze medals in the 10,000 metres at the 2017 and 2019 World Athletics Championships. At the 2015 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, Tirop became the second-youngest ever gold medallist in the women's race, after Zola Budd. At the time of her death in 2021, she was the world-record holder in the 10 kilometres women's-only event.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.worldathletics.org/news/news/agnes-tirop-obituary|title=World record-holder Tirop dies|date=13 October 2021|work=World Athletics|access-date=13 October 2021}}</ref>
At junior level, she was a bronze medallist at the 2012 and 2014 World Junior Championships in Athletics as well as the silver medallist at the 2013 IAAF World Cross Country Championships. She won a silver and a gold at the 2012 and 2014 African Cross Country Championships, respectively.
Tirop was killed at the age of 25 by multiple stab wounds to the neck and stomach. Her husband, Ibrahim Rotich, is on trial as the prime suspect. She was buried in her hometown in the Kenyan highlands at a funeral attended by over 1,000 mourners.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Okeowo |first=Alexis |date=10 April 2023 |title=Why Were Two Female Running Champions Killed in Kenya? |url=https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/04/17/why-were-two-female-olympians-killed-in-kenya |access-date=10 April 2023 |magazine=The New Yorker}}</ref>

Tirop was again second to Kipyegon at the 2013 Kenyan Cross Country Championships, and teamwork between the pair led to a Kenyan 1–2 and team title at the 2013 IAAF World Cross Country Championships—Kipyegon defended her title while Tirop was a narrow second to claim her first medal at the competition.<ref>Mutuota, Mutwiri (16 February 2013).[http://www.iaaf.org/competitions/iaaf-world-cross-country-championships/news/rono-and-muriuki-win-kenyan-world-cross-trial Rono and Muriuki win Kenyan World Cross Trials in Nairobi].
