Ulrika Knape (born April 26, 1955) is a Swedish diver, who is married to fellow Swedish diver Mathz Lindberg, and therefore also known as Ulrika Lindberg as well as Ulrika Knape-Lindberg. She's also the mother of another Swedish diver, Anna Lindberg.
In the early 1970s, Knape together with her coach, Gunnel Weinås, enjoyed major success not only nationally (winning 38 national Swedish titles), but also internationally: being crowned World Platform Diver of the Year from 1972 to 1974 and winning Olympic gold.
Knape won the Svenska Dagbladet Gold Medal in 1972.
