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. Between 1959 and 1961, she won three consecutive national titles in the 4 × 100 m freestyle relay.

Weiß ended her competitive swimming career in 1963 and began studying medicine. In 1964, she married Karl-Heinz Engelhardt, a multiple East German champion in swimming.

After graduating, Weiß worked as a doctor, first at a sports school in Leipzig, and after the German unification in a rehabilitation clinic.
