Olga Viza (born 18 August 1958) is a Spanish journalist. Olga Viza made her debut on Televisión Española in January 1978, when she had not yet finished her studies in journalism, specifically on the show Polideportivo.

From the sports program Estadio 2, during the second half of the 1980s and early 1990s, she had the opportunity to cover the most prominent sporting events, from the World Cup in Spain to the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona.
