Nancy Vonderheide (born c.1939 in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States), later Nancy Kleinman, was a World Champion archer who represented the United States.

Vonderheide took up archery in 1959 after starting to date Marvin Kleinman, a partner at the legal firm she was working at, who was a keen archer. [1] Within two years, she won the World Championships in Oslo as an unknown; she also set two new world records at the event. She went on to carry out a record-breaking 16 competition unbeaten streak, before being upset at the 1963 Championships by compatriot Victoria Cook. She was not selected for the United States team for any future Championships. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

Nancy Kleinman died on March 11, 2017, after a long illness. [8]
