Janne Kolling (born 12 July 1968) is a former Danish team handball player, two times Olympic champion and a World champion. She received gold medals with the Danish national team at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta[1] and at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.[2]

She is the most tenured player ever on the Danish Women's national team with 250 matches,[3] and she has scored the second most goals on the national team, only surpassed by Camilla Andersen.

In 2001 she retired due to knee injury.[4] Since then she has worked with hospitality in Dansk Håndbold Forbund.
