Dina ("Nida") Willemina Jacoba Senff (born April 3, 1920 in Rotterdam — died June 27, 1995 in Amstelveen) was a swimmer from The Netherlands, who won the 100 metres backstroke at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. She did so after missing a turning point, went back to push the wall and still managed to win the race, at the expense of her teammate Rie Mastenbroek. Senff won the Dutch title twice in the 100 metres backstroke, and was named into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 1983.
