Kajsa Britta Kling (born 25 December 1988) is a retired World Cup alpine ski racer from Sweden.

Born in Åre, Kling competed in all five alpine disciplines. At the 2010 Winter Olympics, she finished 26th in the giant slalom. On 28 December 2010, Kling crashed during a giant slalom race in Semmering, Austria, which ended her 2011 season. ^[1]

On 14 December 2013, Kling attained her first World Cup podium, placing second in a Super-G race in St. Moritz, Switzerland. ^[2]

Ahead of the 2017/18 season, it was announced that Kling would take a break from World Cup racing because of depression. Kling set no target for a return at the time. ^[3] In August 2018, Kling announced her decision not to return to the World Cup and retire from active competition. ^[4]
