Britta Kamrau-Corestein (born 6 April 1979 in Rostock) is a German long distance swimmer. She is a former European champion at the 5k, 10k and 25k Open Water distances[1] and current World champion at 25k.

In March 2007 she was the center of some controversy after she claimed that Australian swimmer Kate Brookes-Peterson pulled her from behind in the final 100 meters of the 5K Open Water race at the 2007 World Aquatics Championships[2] denying her a bronze medal.
