Margot Wilhelmina ("Wilma") Teunisje van Velsen (born April 22, 1964 in Tiel, Gelderland) is a former butterfly and freestyle swimmer from The Netherlands, who twice competed for her native country at the Summer Olympics, starting in 1980 in Moscow, Soviet Union.

There she won the bronze medal in the 4x100m Freestyle Relay, alongside Conny van Bentum, Annelies Maas and Reggie de Jong. Four years later in Los Angeles, California she was a member of the silver winning team in the same event, although she just swam in the qualifying heats to bring The Netherlands to the final. There the team was made up by Conny van Bentum, Desi Reijers, Annemarie Verstappen, and Elles Voskes.
