Frida Elisabeth Karlsson (born 10 August 1999) is a Swedish cross-country skier. She won a silver medal in the women's 10 km classical, bronze medal in the women's 30 km freestyle mass start, and gold as a member of the women's 4 × 5 km relay during the 2019 FIS World Championships in Seefeld in Tirol, Austria. With this win, she became the youngest cross-country skiing World Cup gold medalist in history.
