Daniela Hunger (born 20 March 1972 in East Berlin) is a former medley and freestyle swimmer from East Germany, who won two golden medals at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea: in the women's 200 m individual medley, and as a member of the women's 4×100 m freestyle team. Hunger also competed at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, where she captured three medals. She competed for SC Dynamo Berlin.[1][2][3]

In 1998, several former East German swimmers have gone public with accusations against their coaches and physicians that they were systematically doped, Daniela Hunger being one of them.[4]
