Birte Christoffersen (later Hanson, later Ekberg; born 28 March 1924), is a retired diver. She competed in the 3 m springboard and 10 m platform for Denmark at the 1948 Summer Olympics and for Sweden at the 1956 and 1960 Summer Olympics. She won a bronze medal in the platform in 1948 and finished in 8–12th place on other occasions.[1]
