Sara Gilbert (Born Sara Rebecca Abeles on January 29, 1975 in Santa Monica, California. ) is an American actress best known for her role as Darlene Conner-Healy from 1988–1997 in the U.S.

Gilbert decided at age six that she wanted to be an actress after her older sister, Melissa Gilbert, got a plaque on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Following appearances in television movies and a commercial for Kool Aid, at the age of thirteen she landed the role of Darlene Conner, the sarcastic middle child, in Roseanne. Sara was a cast member during the show's nine-year run from 1988 to 1997, for which she also wrote a fourth-season episode called "Don't Make Me Over". Her contribution was considered so important to
Roseanne that the show's producers juggled storyline and taping schedules to allow her to study at Yale University while remaining part of the cast, shooting remote segments of Darlene at a sound stage in New York. At Yale, she majored in art with an emphasis on photography; she graduated with honors in 1997.

She has been in a relationship with Allison Adler since 2002, and she came out as a lesbian in 2010. They are said to live a "low key" lifestyle in Hollywood Hills, California. Adler gave birth to a son, Levi Hank, in October 2004 and Gilbert gave birth to a daughter, Sawyer, on August 2, 2007.
