Sharon Kay Herbaugh (January 28, 1954 – April 16, 1993) was an American journalist and war correspondent for the Associated Press. She was the Associated Press bureau chief in Islamabad, Pakistan, at the time of her death. Herbaugh was killed while on an assignment when she was traveling with 14 other people, including freelance journalist Natasha Singh and translator Mohammad Rafie, and their helicopter crashed into the side of a mountain near Pul-e Khomri, north of Kabul. Aid workers recovered the bodies from a ravine hours after the crash. The accident cause was later deemed engine failure. Herbaugh was the AP's first female bureau chief to be killed while on assignment for the Associated Press. She remained the AP's only female journalist to be killed in the line of duty until the 2014 death of Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Anja Niedringhaus, who was shot and killed while covering the presidential elections in Afghanistan.
