Sara Dylan (born October 25, 1939, as Shirley Marlin Noznisky) is the first wife of singer-songwriter Bob Dylan.
In 1959, Noznisky was wed to magazine photographer Hans Lownds, during which time she was known as Sara Lownds.
Sara married Bob Dylan during a secret ceremony in November 1965, and the couple had four children together.
Their marriage is often cited by music writers as the inspiration for many of Dylan's songs created throughout the 1960s and '70s, including "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands", "Love Minus Zero/No Limit", "Abandoned Love", and "Sara".
The 1975 album Blood on the Tracks has been cited by many as Bob Dylan's account of their disintegrating marriage; Their son Jakob Dylan has said that the lyrics of the album are "my parents talking".
The pair divorced in June 1977.
Sara Dylan played the role of Clara in the movie Renaldo and Clara, directed by Dylan, and the film was described by a Dylan biographer as "in part a tribute to his wife".
