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.[2]

In April 2018, Karlsson received a 50,000 Swedish kronor prize for promising new skiers from former skier Johan Olsson and a bank. The award also gave her the opportunity to use Olsson as a mentor.[3] Karlsson is the daughter of former cross-country skier Ann-Marie Karlsson.[4]

The 2022–2023 season saw Frida Karlsson winning the Tour de Ski.[5]

Karlsson won the gold medal in 20 kilometre skiathlon at the 2026 Winter Olympics.[6] A few days later she won the gold medal at the 10 kilometre freestyle.[7][8]
