Ingrid Kristiansen née Christensen (born March 21, 1956 in Trondheim, Norway), was one of the best female long distance runners in the second half of the 1980s. She finished in fourth place in the first ever women's Olympic marathon race, at the 1984 Summer Olympics.

Kristiansen was world champion over 10,000 metres in 1987, and set five track world records in the course of her career. Heavy favourite for the first Olympic 10,000-meter title she failed to finish the final due to a foot injury.

She simultaneously held the 5000-meter and 10,000-meter world records, as well as the world record for marathon, which she held from 1984 until 1998 (2:21:06). She won several prestigious marathon races, including New York, Chicago, Boston twice, and London a record four times, Stocholm Marathon 3 times and Houston Marathon 2 times.

Kristiansen was also a gifted cross-country skier. She was European champion for juniors in 1974, and won eight Norwegian championships in relay.
