Katrin Meissner (German: Katrin Meißner, born 17 January 1973) is a former freestyle swimmer from East Germany, who won three medals at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. The fifteen-year-old triumphed with the GDR women's relay team in the 4×100 m medley and in the 4×100 m freestyle, and finished third in the 50 m freestyle.[1]

Meissner is one of the few East German swimmers to also swim for Germany after reunification. She represented Germany at the 2000 Summer Olympics. Meissner retired in 2004 after not being selected for the 2004 Summer Olympics.[2]
