Gisela Weiß (later Engelhardt, born 16 October 1943) is a retired German swimmer. She competed at the 1960 Summer Olympics in the 400 m and 4×100 m freestyle events and won a bronze medal in the relay. In 1959–1961 she won three consecutive national titles in the 4×100 m freestyle relay.

She ended her active career in 1963 and began to study medicine. In 1964 she married Karl-Heinz Engelhardt, a multiple East German champion in swimming. After graduation she worked as a doctor, first at a sports school in Leipzig, and after the German unification in a rehabilitation clinic.
