Saru Limbu (Nepali: सरु लिम्बु; born 6 March 1999) is a Nepalese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Paro WFC and the Nepali national team.

Early life Growing up in her hometown in Morang District, Limbu used to watch local football matches, and her friends and cousins influenced her to play football. After playing for New Star, she attracted the attention of bigger clubs including Nepal A.P.F. Club.

Career In 2016, APF offered her a contract. When she joined APF, key players such as Anu Lama and Sajana Rana were injured, so Limbu got an immediate chance to play. After a dominant performance in the Chief of Army Staff Cup, she was called up to Nepal women's national football team. The side finished top of its group, scoring 60 goals in four matches. These included a 19–0 win over Sialkot (Limbu scoring 10 goals), a 4–0 triumph over Higher Education Commission, a 35–0 victory over Karachi (Limbu again scoring 10), and a 2–2 draw with Karachi United.
